Executive Producer
En una Brooklyn amenazada con perder la identidad por culpa de la especulación inmobiliaria, dos jóvenes se conocen en una tienda en medio de la noche. Saul y Zama son dos huérfanos castigados por el capitalismo que se reúnen debido a las circunstancias y que siguen hacia delante pese a sus diferencias, dándose esperanza el uno al otro. Mientras tanto, en su torre de marfil, el hombre adinerado indirectamente responsable de sus penas lucha por encontrar razones para sonreír.
Finnish farm boy Paavo Turtiainen is hired into the Parisian household of Swedish theatre producer Lars Schmidt and his wife, actress Ingrid Bergman. The couple “adopt” and train Paavo to navigate among the rich and famous. Later on, Paavo becomes the personal secretary for Schmidt and Bergman. His responsibilities include building up the personal archives of both Schmidt and Bergman. Ms. Bergman’s archives are now at the film archives of Wesleyan University and Schmidt’s archives are in the United States Library of Congress. After Schmidt and Bergman divorce Paavo decides to settle permanently in New York. His first clients are friends of Schmidt: celebrities and business personalities Paavo has met while working in Paris and on Dannholmen, a Swedish island owned by Schmidt. Eventually Paavo becomes an acclaimed chef and event planner for high society. Along the way, he has learned to stand on his own feet.
