Quotes:
« Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

« Holly Golightly: I'm not Holly, I'm not Lulu Mae either, I don't know who I am. I'm like cat here, we're a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.

Plots:
A young New York socialite becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building, but her past threatens to get in the way.
Holly Golightly, an elegant Upper East Side socialite spending her time between wild parties and mysterious day trips to Sing Sing, is confident that she has seen and done everything before. But her life is about to get complicated. As if trying to find an identity weren’t challenging enough, the impeccably dressed fortune hunter finds herself off guard when struggling writer Paul Varjak becomes her new neighbour. But Paul, too, isn’t impervious to Holly’s effortless allure. Little by little, as the handsome tenant surrenders to the moment, eager to hijink around the city in the name of fresh excitement, sublime feelings of tenderness flood Paul’s world-weary heart. After all, the uninspired author and the unstoppable dream girl are meant for each other, even though they quietly struggle to keep their past at bay. Now, potent feelings have the final say; there’s no room for pride in love. And in New York City’s bustling Fifth Avenue, a romance blooms. Can an early morning breakfast at Tiffany’s be the prelude to a breezy love affair?
A middle-aged female begins to gain feelings for a middle-aged male who has moved into the same apartment building as her. They start to hang out and travel together and have fun but she is not sure that he has feelings for despite being in each other’s company.
