Welcome to Hollywood, the place where dreamers come to dream and where the number of stars for a square meter is greater than in the night sky. But people living here do not always resemble the movie characters they so eagerly portray on the screen. In the extravagant villas in Beverly Hills you may find people with a guilty conscious and shady past, like a famous psychotherapist and star adviser, or his aging client and pretentious actress, or even a young millionaire who got to the top too fast and is now suffering from the consequences. Here you can find romantics whose dreams did not come true. In some cases the twinkle of hope is still visible in their eyes, while for others it was replaced by the darkness of desperation. Hollywood promises luck and happiness to those who are yet to come, but those who lived here for a while begin to see past the blindfold of dreams and smell the reality. They would say "Welcome to Hollywood, land of passion haunted by ghosts of the past, land of lust and blood".
