Synopsis
Burt
Burt, a 69-year-old musician with Parkinson’s, has his life turned upside down when a man from New York shows up claiming to be his son. Having always dreamed of being a father, Burt embraces Sammy and invites him to stay for the weekend, where he lives with his grumpy landlord.
Factotum
This drama centers on Hank Chinaski, the fictional alter-ego of "Factotum" author Charles Bukowski, who wanders around Los Angeles, CA trying to live off jobs which don't interfere with his primary interest, which is writing. Along the way, he fends off the distractions offered by women, drinking and gambling.
