Opis

Step into the 1930s and follow Tod Hackett, an artist searching for inspiration in Hollywood during the Great Depression. Along the way, he falls for the beautiful but talentless Faye Greener and interacts with a cast of colorful characters, all struggling to find their place in the world of acting and fakery. As Tod sketches scenes on set and dreams of a painting titled "The Burning of Los Angeles," the city erupts into a violent riot during a Hollywood premiere. Is this Tod's moment of enlightenment or a complete mental breakdown? Discover the answer in this riveting tale of love, art, and chaos.
