Plot

In 1992, Jack, a legendary filmmaker, returns to Hollywood after a long absence. He is looking to secure finance for his new film project. His return to Tinseltown is heralded by a series of adventures, as he drinks freely, seduces a beautiful woman named Diana, quarrels with studio executives and finally procures funds for his new project by winning a poker game.

Twenty years on, the filmmaker's son arrives in Hollywood looking to make his directorial debut amid questions of whether he has inherited his father's gift.
