Summary:

When Gilda's father dies, she is left with nothing but her video camera, her father's secrets, and a fascination with movie star Michael DeSantis. Using her camera as a diary, and propelled by grief and anger, she sets off for an adventure in New York City. Ultimately, she finds herself right in the middle of her movie star fantasies.
