Movie Description After spending two years with relatives in Mexico, a young man with grand visions of stardom returns to Hollywood, only to have his sadistic, world-weary father force him into the family business: he becomes a male prostitute posing as a vendor of maps to the stars' homes. While resignedly turning tricks (both male and female), he never loses sight of his dream, despite the turmoil surrounding him. A bold, alternately comic and tragic debut from writer-director Miguel Arteta.
