BED OF ROSES – SERIES 2
Southern Star and Ruby Entertainment Pty Ltd
Producers Mark Ruse, Stephen Luby
Writers Jutta Goetze, Elizabeth Coleman
Sales and Distribution Southern Star International
Synopsis Series 2 of Bed of Roses is the story of a woman’s search – and a community’s search – for a workable identity in the 21st Century. It is also a love story. Because whether you’re 80, 50 or 17, none of us is immune to that totally infuriating, confusing, heating, frighteningly vulnerable sensation that renders us smiling, crying, despairing, and hopeful, all in the same breath. Particularly when you’re not sure which man you’re in love with.
