Synopsis: Led by the loathsome yet funny and
touching child-star Benjie, we witness the convoluted world of shallow,
selfish celebrities and their minions, all of whom are about to be
manipulated and destroyed by the young woman who literally represents
the fruit of their twisted machinations, Agatha, Benjie’s tormented,
apparently psychotic sister. As much as it is a sharp, comic look at a
vacant and corrupt world, MAPS TO THE STARS is also a haunting ghost story.
Synopsis: The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Sanford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benje, 13, a child star. One of Sanford’s clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night…Adding to the toxic mix, benje has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania.
