Only in America. Only in Hollywood could a young man with a dream make his way to the stars. This story blends fantasy and melodrama with dark humor to reveal a different side of Hollywood where a second generation immigrant struggles to find a place for himself amid the chaos of his family and aspirations.Carlos is a handsome, precocious 18-year-old who is willing to risk anything to become a movie star. He finds his greatest obstacles are not only breaking into the business but breaking free from his oppressive family.
