Career woman Dana Weber has been working as editor-in-chief of a glossy magazine for 15 years. Her unshakeable self-confidence suffers its first blow when her snooty boss throws her out the door for reasons of age. Because she has never put any money aside and her ex-lover Martin won't lend her any, Dana has to vacate her luxurious apartment. At her older sister Maria's birthday party, it is not easy for her to pretend that everything is as it always was. Widow Maria, on the other hand, who lives in the villa she inherited from her parents, is calm and collected. The practicing esotericist is relaxed about refurbishing old furniture and gets on brilliantly with her sonny-boy offspring Robert - until it turns out that he has been ripped off by a notorious real estate shark and has used his mother's villa as a guarantee.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
