Opis

Newly divorced aging Artist Michael seduces a young lap-dancer into his "paradise." However, he serves her the wrong drug and wakes up next morning with a "gorgeous" stiff at his bedside. Now Michael discovers a dark side of his broken heart - it lusts and craves his new discovery The two male "Aging Teenagers" Michael and Carl - focused on "Booze, Babes and Barbeque" - have reached a point in time, where they are forced to realize, that having lasting and giving relationships to the other half of humanity and to the offspring of such relationships is not compatible with always putting ones own desires on top of the agenda. Not being attracted to the Pure American Dream with core family, house and car - PLAN A - they early on in life decided on going for PLAN B. Both used to be active members of the 68-generation - made to believe that immediate fulfillment of individual and personal desires is one of the basic human rights and part of the American Values. The two maturing "life artists" - returning from their annual participation in the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada Desert - are slowly coming of age and in the process are faced with the dialectic confrontation between the aesthetic and the ethic dimensions of human life or - in other words - are forced to make a choice between either immediate personal satisfaction or consideration for the justified needs of your neighbor. The result of such a confrontation may be disastrous, like in the case with Michael and Carl. Michael - not capable of making the move from his purely aesthetical stand to an ethic life attitude - ends up in a murderous killing spree ending with his ultimate self-destruction. Carl, who might be capable of going through the kind of required transformation, is however dragged down with his mate.... Film director and Writer Heini Grunbaum, was born 1 of September 1966 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He started making films when he was 14 years old and is still in the game. Some of his Original Screenplays has not yet reached the big screen. However, Heini Grunbaum has decided that his best stories shall be available for the public. PLAN B PARADISE is the first of a number of Original Screenplays that will be published in the future. In stead of rewriting the Screenplays into books, Heini Grunbaum has decided to publish his screenplays as "the" Original Screenplays. Heini says: "I told my father that I was frustrated that I had not managed to finance some of my best film projects. Especially great stories like PLAN B PARADISE. My father then said, "well, why don't you publish them then? " - Ahh, you mean I should rewrite them into books, I asked him? "No," he said; "publish the screenplays as they are. When I was young we used to read theater plays in school. Theater plays and screenplays have their own music, so to speak. Publish it for what is was intended to be " - I decide to follow his advice. Of course I realized that not only would this save me the hard work of rewriting my materials, it would also give the reader a chance to get an idea of the films visual style as well, all though the Screenplay still hasn't materialized into a film. Heini Grunbaum is also working on a series of short stories, which will be published in the near future. In the mean time, readers of great fiction has the opportunity to throw themselves in the hands of this somewhat sad story of a fathers struggle to keep a good loving relationship to his teenage daughter while his ex-wife just makes it difficult for him to do so. The story shows the true flipside to the American dream."
