Synopsis
A boy falls in love with a girl. She wants to be an actress. So the boy decides to become a famous director, and begins to search for the perfect new play to produce. Years pass. Some things change, but the more they do, the more other things stay the same—for instance, the fact that the perfect play doesn't exist...and that a true artist's dream will never die.
