Somewhere

As the film opens a black Ferrari circles on a race track in the desert, its engine roaring in and out of the shot. When it eventually stops, Johnny Marco steps out. Marco is a young and recently divorced Hollywood actor who, despite his recent rise to fame, does not feel much meaning in his daily life. He resides at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles from where he completes various publicity obligations for his new film: he is photographed with his co-star, gives interviews to the press, and attends an award ceremony in Italy. Presently, he is nursing a broken wrist in a plaster arm cast.
