Written and Directed by: Andrzej Krakowski
Featuring: Ben Gazzara (4 Time EMMY [with one WIN] and 3 Time Golden Globe nominee), Talia Shire - Two time Academy Award nominee (Rocky, The Godfather: Part II), David Moscow, Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos)

Arrogant Hollywood talent agent, Josh Ross (David Moscow) is sent to Guatemala to find Oscar-winning actor Jack Palladin (Ben Gazzara). Having never met, the search is emotionally complicated as the long-time retired star was once married to Josh's late mother. Josh's contempt for the 'old' actor mirrors his comedic distaste for the local community whose help he desperately needs to find him. What he hopes will be a quick and lucrative deal turns into a soul-searching journey for both as the star and his estranged son must confront the past they had forsaken.
