Men & Chicken

Gabriel and Elias are two very different brothers. Gabriel is a worn-down university professor and Elias is a man whose only concerns are women and trivial knowledge. During a lecture, Gabriel receives a phone call: their father is dead. Things take a turn when the brothers learn through a videotape recorded by their now-late father, that he in fact wasn't their biological father. Gabriel and Elias discover that their biological father lives on the island Ork. They set out to the island and here they meet their real family, but their first meeting doesn't go as expected. Gabriel and Elias are stranded in the marshland of Ork, where they meet the mayor of Ork and his daughter Ellen, a neurotic woman who hates her life, herself, her father, and the island. Surrounded by abnormal people, Gabriel and Elias discover the truth about themselves and their relatives: a truth that while paralyzing them also sets them free.

It is a job set to fast track her career in journalism if she can survive a year working for Miranda. From here, Andy, with no sense of fashion at all, begins a fish-out-of-water drama as she is thrown into a lifestyle full of the fast-paced, three-inch-minimum heel height, diet Coke and coffee substance abuse. Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate, and best friend, Lily, is slipping away from her. Then, she realizes that she is losing what really matters.
