Characters in this film are all voiceover actors in hollywood. The greatest has passed, and there is a scramble to rearrange the talent ladder. Sam is the defacto "old guard" expert who is mentoring Gustav to take his place while at the same time belittling the achievements of his daughter Carol who is also breaking into the field. Everything comes to a head when a studio decides to bring back the iconic "In a world..." trailer voice over. Everyone wants that role. Partly this is a behind the scene look at the voiceover world, but more it is a about the politics and competition in any job, and the family dynamics that go along with it. Unfortunately, it is not a very good look at any of these. You can only say "In a world..." in a deep voice so often before it doesn't sound cool anymore.
