Maria Vargas(艾娃·加德纳 Ava Gardner 饰)一个美丽、敏感、渴望爱情的西班牙女子,本在一家酒吧跳舞。被美国导演Harry Dawes(亨弗莱·鲍嘉 Humphrey Bogart 饰)挖掘,带到好莱坞,成了万众瞩目电影明星。但她却与投资Harry电影的老板Kirk Edwards矛盾重重,后又和南美洲的富人Bravano纠缠不清。直到她遇见深爱她的那个男人——伯爵Vincenzo,两人终于结婚,但悲剧却无法避免。就如Vincenzo的家族格言一样:该来的,总会来。美人已逝,空留遗憾。
Facing a long winter of lockdown and combating a bad case of writer’s block, filmmaker Eric agrees to get a dog with his girlfriend Allie. A modern couple – vegan, ethical, millennial, neurotic – much research and negotiation leads to the arrival of Milly, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. This sets off a riotous chain of new challenges on how to best deal with this addition to the household. As Eric contends with a sinister dog-training programme, his introspection spills out onto his film work, with poor Allie and Milly taken along for the ride. The couple each pursue their own deepheld individual questions surrounding trust, purpose and roots, while wrestling with the idea of what it means to be a modern family. Milly, in the meantime, has a lot on her paws with these two!
Part rom-com, part rescue-dog story, part autofiction, part self-indictment, part family scrapbook, this debut feature was made with remarkable economy and displays a disquieting amount of (often hilarious) emotional authenticity. Filmmaker Ben Petrie and creative collaborator Grace Glowicki play the young couple and in doing so, capture nothing less than what it means to be human.
