Backstage Madness
5.8
A 70-year-young nameless Director still invents various vivid and bizarre characters on an old-fashioned typewriter. This respected veteran knows a thing or two about tenderness and aesthetics. He has heard the word 'stop' far too many times while preparing an arthouse festival gem. The fledgling producer orders his uncle to write something entirely different, involving all keen investors in sold-out, influential roles.
