The shooting of “Gone with the Wind” is a real disaster. The film producer, David O. Selznick, has decided to stop it in order to redirect it and that the film is still the one he always dreamed of. But time runs against him and every second of stop is costing him a real fortune.
Accompanied by her acute and infallible secretary, Miss. Poppenghul decides to summon two greats of the time to his office to try to solve the situation: his great friend and excellent screenwriter, Ben Hetch and the talented, although impossible director, Victor Fleming.
But neither of them will bet on this “fullone” set in the American civil war and starring a heroine like Escarlata O’Hara, defeated and of dubious morality. Both will try to persuade him of his mistake over and over again, but it will be impossible for them. The producer is totally imbued with the personality of Escarlata and like her, he will not stop until he gets what he wants, and like her, he will get away at all costs.
And yes, we know that they will manage to make the film and that it was one of the greatest successes in the history of cinema, but only we will be able to attend the real events that occurred during the journey of this filming. A fascinating story about the golden Hollywood of the 1930s. Lights, camera… Action!
