Jacopo has a serious problem. He may be a brilliant marriage guidance counsellor, but he can never manage to have a steady relationship for more than two weeks. And for good reason: since he was very young, Jacopo has been cursed and brought bad luck to every woman who has fallen in love with him. Really bad luck. Because of this, he has vowed to stay away from women, for their own good. But the moment he lays eyes on Sara at a friend’s birthday party, he is smitten. Despite his resistance, the two fall head over heels leading to back-to-back, laugh-out-loud moments of disaster! Sara will quickly learn the consequences of her choice as the limits of her love are put to the test.

AI Analysis
Stay Away from Me is a conventional romantic comedy that prioritizes established genre tropes over social subversion. The story follows a standard courtship model, focusing on a male protagonist's struggle with a romantic curse. The film lacks significant diversity, operating within a traditional binary framework. It adheres to regional demographic norms and does not engage with themes that challenge existing social or gendered hierarchies. Ultimately, the film functions as a standard genre piece, offering minimal disruption to traditional relationship dynamics or cultural structures.
