Car Palace Gediminas Trimakas

Ed and Donna appear to be the vital young couple living the American Dream. They married young, were adventurous together, successful together, and still together, now parents to two children, they see their serial entrepreneurship careen out of control, trapping them in a work prison of their own making. They're pushed to their breaking points, both emotionally and financially. A third-generation auto dealer shows up in the middle of this crisis and promises to make them rich, but at a price. They have to bet everything they own and can borrow and invest it on a single spin of the dealer's roulette wheel. If they lose the bet they go bankrupt. A tale of two cultures, a love story, an American story.



Car Palace brilliantly protrays a remarkable journey in the land of American commerce and literature, revealing several regions of the soul -- marriage, morals, ambition, and risk -- and asks, what does it mean to control your own destiny?
