Joelle Davidovich Pomponette, best known by her stage name "Pompo," is a very skilled film producer who inherited her grandfather's network and sense of cinema. Even though she has a bright future, Pompo only makes cheesy B movies. That is, until she gives Gene Fini, her assistant, the script for a challenging film about the life of a composer and declares that he has been given his first directing credit. Gene devotes himself entirely to his job since he is driven to make the movie stand out. The ambitious filmmaker, however, is torn between what must be sacrificed in the cause of creation given an onerous workload and a deadline that is approaching in a matter of days.
