In an era where cinema is undergoing a complete transformation, a young filmmaker in Berlin feels trapped between his passion for the seventh art and the pressure to meet industry expectations. After attending an avant-garde screening, he becomes obsessed with experimenting with new forms of storytelling. He decides to form a group of equally passionate friends who gather to explore and discuss the possibilities of the medium.
As our protagonist immerses himself in his projects, he begins to discover the tension between art and commerce. His first short film, which seeks to break away from the conventions of traditional cinema, catches the attention of an influential producer who sees in it an opportunity to attract mass audience interest. However, the dilemma arises when he is offered a chance to direct a major commercial spectacle that could elevate his career to new heights but would compromise his artistic ideals.
As the premiere date approaches, the filmmaker finds himself trapped in a world of glamour and superficiality, confronting his own identity and the values of his art. With a surprising ending that defies expectations, the film invites the audience to reflect on what truly defines success and authenticity in the world of cinema. The narrative blends elements of realism and surrealism, immersing the viewer in a visual journey that is both a tribute and a critique of the emerging film world of the 1920s.
