How well do you know those who are closest to you? In these three powerful and moving monologues, Martin Foreman lays bare the lives of three very different Californians. Los Feliz - A salesman in a diner knows the freeways and side streets of Los Angeles like the back of his hand; on one of those side streets he meets the woman of his dreams. Ben and Joe's - In a San Fernando Valley bar a group of older men spend their days shooting the breeze, watching TV and flirting with the bartender. Life is quiet until a young man enters. Sunset - As the sun sets in the Cascade Mountains a grandmother remembers her first date, the man she married and their life together. Running time: 2hrs (with two intervals) Californian Lives website.
