Life is not all that it seems to be cracked up to be for the individuals of Four Conversations, with married couple Charles and Jasmine, and friend and protégé' Toni and Sasha. Jasmine, a hard charging corporate lawyer, approaching her 30s, who appears to have everything a woman could ever want, finds herself in search of the missing link in her successful career and personal life. She struggles and feels guilty with why she has been so blessed with her accolades and whether she deserves it, as growing up, it was a life of humble beginnings. She continually looks for the answer of why she was selected to become what she has been given in life, an impossible dream. Her husband Charles, a well-established blue-collar businessman, owner of a successful construction company, who loves his wife, his life and his job, has a difficult time separating aspirations from obsession, has he continues to become more determined with his business ventures. Losing his father early on in his life, he trails into wishing that his father could see all that he has achieved.
Toni, a tell-it-like-it-is woman and Jasmine's childhood best friend, is a nonstop, ladder-climbing entrepreneur, who owns two day spas and is working on a third, has a difficult time meeting the man of her dreams. She continually feels that many men are intimated by her business suave and independence. Although she appears to never looking unhappy and never feeling lonely, she yearns to have someone to share her life with, because deep down inside she is torn with loneliness and feels detached from the dating world.
Sasha, the free spirited and full of energy protégé, who works for Toni, is sometimes misunderstood as a young single woman, growing into adult-hood. Though she carries herself with the upmost of respect, she constantly deals with misconceived notions from male suitors, as a wild anything goes party girl. She comes to realize that she must shed layers of herself that are giving off the wrong signals of her fun-filled nightlife persona.
Four Conversations, written by Dywayne R. Moody, has all the ingredients to make you laugh, cry and bring smiles to faces. Full with of emotion, it is a must-see production.
