Telemacher (Steve MARTIN) is a TV weather presenter living in Los Angeles. He is in a dead-end relationship with his social-climbing girlfriend Trudi (Marilu HENNER), and feels his job requires him to be undignified and unintellectual, though he has a PhD in arts and humanities. He wants to find some meaning and magic in his life, having grown increasingly weary of what he sees as the rather shallow and superficial city of LA, from overly pretentious coffee orders to bizarre shooting etiquette rules on the freeway. He spends his time roller-skating through art galleries with his friend Ariel, offering eccentric art reviews to acquaintances, remixing Shakespeare a lot, and otherwise seeking to escape his ordinary life. At a luncheon with a group of friends, he meets Sara (Victoria TENNANT), a journalist from London, with whom he immediately becomes infatuated. Driving home that night, his car breaks down on the freeway. He notices that a freeway traffic condition sign seems to be displaying messages intended solely for him. It offers him cryptic advice on his love life throughout the movie. Martin, (born Stephen Glenn Martin, August 14, 1945), is 76. His latest work is the Hulu series, “ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING.” The first episode was released Aug. 31, 2021. ??Enjoy!
