Synopsis: Maria is meeting her father Lars for a brunch. It’s been several years since they’ve seen each other. Lars brings with him his younger daughter Letya, who is his child from his new family.
Character Breakdowns:
LARS – 35ish, Caucasian, Maria`s father, lead. He lives abroad with his younger daughter Letya, and has not had close contact with Maria for almost her whole life. Actors with daughters (for Letya role) welcome, but not required. His first language is English, so he need not speak another language, but must learn a few lines to communicate with Letya.
ANNE – 35ish, Caucasian, Maria`s mother, supporting character. A self-reliant single mom living with her daughter Maria.
MARIA – 12ish, Caucasian, lead. She’s sporty with a vulnerable side and insecure about her appearance. She lives with her mother, yet misses her father. Non-actors welcome.
LETYA – 6ish, all races, Maria`s step-sister, a sweet and cute little princess, lead. Young actor should speak a foreign language fluently (or sound as fluent as a 6-year-old can be) because she’s being brought up in another country. Language not specific to script, so can be any non-English language. Non-actors welcome.
WAITRESS – supporting character, non-paid, non-specific age or looks, but imagining feminine-acting like Letya.
