DEEPER THAN BLUE is a dramatic comedy about hope, recovery and change. An ensemble of funny, yet sad characters come to life in a bitterly honest way: from the romance of the leads, Rose and Mark, to the last chance of an old demented man, George, or to Max, the innocent in all of us. These people weave in and out of each other's lives as if fate is looking from above and somehow co-ordinating it all.
