A famous and successful family of Broadway actors live an unconventional lifestyle in their luxurious mansion. Their matriarch has no regrets about her chosen profession, her daughter is dealing with an old boyfriend who unexpectedly shows up from South America, while her granddaughter want to get married an leave the profession altogether.
