Event
What Happens Next
Billionaire/Socialite Paul Greco (Jon Lindstrom, As the World
Turns) seems to have it all. Or does he? Upon the sale of his
lucrative business, his retirement, and more money and time than
he knows what to do with, there are many sudden changes in his
life. Starting with his overbearing (but well-meaning) sister Elise
(Wendie Malick, Just Shoot Me and Hot In Cleveland) who
decides giving Paul a dog would be the perfect start. With little
else to do, Paul assumes the daily dog walking routine in the
park. There he encounters Andy Chance (Chris Murrah), a gay
self-employed advertising whiz, who happens to walk his dog on
the very same schedule. What starts as a casual daily meeting in
the park, eventually develops into something a bit more
questionable. Andy and Paul find themselves in a series of
comedic situations in the give-and-take, of the differences in their
personalities, upbringing, background and ages and, above all,
the clarity of their undefined relationship. This gets even more
complicated by the influential and overbearing women in both of
their lives. Elise senses definite and curious changes in Paul's
behavior and personality but becomes preoccupied about her
own "alternative lifestyle" artist son, Brian (Ariel Shafir), with
whom she has become seriously estranged. At the same time
Andy's "adopted" sister Roz (Natalia Cigliuti), a high-powered art
gallery owner becomes overtly uncomfortable with Andy's
fascination over Paul a straight philanthropist from an elite
world of socialites and black-tie benefits. After many twists and
turns in the screenplay's story line, revelation, clarity and reconciliation are exposed and settled. The elements of
discovery, surprise and delight are everywhere. "You Can't Have
it All" explores the meaning, definition and redefining of family,
the nature of relationships, the meaning of the varieties of love as
a concept, attitude and human experience, fraught with laughter
and surprise.
