Successful music video director Pasqual Gutierrez faces a dilemma on the due date of his firstborn child: a job offer for his biggest video yet. Frustrated with his poor work-life balance, Gutierrez casts a doppelgänger, Miguel, to take over his duties in his director duo, Cliqua, as he prepares to take an extended paternity leave. But as Pasqual spends more time with Miguel teaching him to step into this new role, his relationship and his work suffer, culminating in a disastrous music video shoot, Serious People explores what it means to be a “director,” a parent, and replaceable in clout-heavy Los Angeles.
