Austin Colors

Description

Nathan, a professor at McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, is a happily married father of two. He has a wide range of interests, including Western classical music, foreign languages, water sports and he is a connoisseur of wines. In all, he is a person living his life to the fullest. Shortly after he loses his wife and children in an accident, Nathan unexpectedly connects to his past, with two women who had conceived through his sperm donation while he was still a financially struggling student. Nathan undertakes to bring up the two teenagers, making up for the tragic loss of his own. Meanwhile, Brenda, his former favorite student at UT, steps into Nathan's life as his lover. The sudden entry of multi-racial, multi-religious characters into the environment of this aspiring Nobel Laureate is of course not devoid of far-reaching consequences. Karma turns Nathan's life upside down and Austin Colors, quite contrary to the pleasant feelings the title evokes, becomes somewhat of a Greek tragedy.
