L.A. Without a Map
It's bright, exiting, romantic and just a little scary.
Directed by Mika Kaurismäki
Produced by Marianna Films, Dan Films
A light romantic comedy about a charming misunderstanding that brings an unconventional British undertaker to Hollywood, balancing whimsy with genuine affection.
An aspiring Hollywood actress, on a visit to a charming North England town, has a brief fling with the town undertaker, who also writes obituaries for the local paper. Returning home, where she works as a waitress at a Japanese restaurant, she tells everyone about the handsome "writer" she met on her trip. Unfortunately, he decides to follow her back to Hollywood, setting up the expected light romantic comedy with asides as the newcomer gains experience about the goings on in Hollywood.
