Synopsis
Joelle Davidovich Pomponette, known to most as Pompo, is a film producer with extraordinary talent, having inherited her grandfather's industry connections and sharp eye for cinema. Despite her bright prospects, Pompo refuses to produce anything except low-quality B-movies. However, her stance changes when she hands her assistant Gene Fini a screenplay centered on a composer's life, announcing that he has been given his first chance to direct. Determined to create an outstanding film, Gene immerses himself fully in the project. But with an immense workload and a deadline just days away, the novice director grapples with what must be given up in the pursuit of artistic creation.
