Description: Drama about a dysfunctional Hollywood family gathering around the patriarch figure of Perry.
Perry is a successful TV producer diagnosed with an inoperable cancer just before his 60th birthday.
His son, Bertie, is an unsuccessful actor to whom Perry wants to give a chance on a Science Fiction series. Bertie compensates his lack of sucess with dedication to her daughter who he wants to protect from his drug addict ex-wife.
Perry’s niece Rachel was adopted by him after a family tragedy that she starts to unravel: her parents died in a murder-suicide.
Their lives and of those around them will be full of hardships and love.
Imagine a soap opera on TV. ” Santa Barbara “, for example – it’s just in California. And imagine that all the characters of the series and slowly before your eyes (or suddenly and over) die . Why ? Just because ! Because people are fucking all mortal as wisely remarked one of the heroes of the film immediately after the opening credits . No, of course , lost children , confused parents and longstanding adultery with a passing encampment also present. But most importantly, the omnipresent death … I wonder how the show would look ” Simply Maria ,” if in the first series was announced that the main character inoperable cancer in the tenth that Juan Carlos – AIDS , and in the twentieth Jose Ignacio crashed this would – that mother’s car?
