Plot

Just the way You Are 2

Susan is a professional flautist in Boston who has been handicapped since childhood and is forced to wear a leg brace to get around. She is all set to marry her gay Investment Banker friend Frank in order to help him hide his sexuality so he can get ahead in business and get a big promotion to a position in Dallas, but decides not to when she realizes that the marriage won't meet her (or his) sexual needs. Shortly afterwards she accepts the offer to travel to Europe on a concert tour. While in Paris, she comes up with an idea to disguise her leg by putting it in a cast and travel on her own to the French Alps to be treated without pity. Not looking to find romance, Susan however has become the interest of Peter, a news photographer. They soon fall in love and Peter dumps his insufferable and narcissistic girlfriend Bobbie for her. Susan is forced to decide if she should tell Peter the truth about herself.
