This film deals with every writer's worse nightmare come true: the battering of an author's story by a wild and unconcerned director, until the original book is unrecognizable in its silver screen incarnation. The writer has a story about the countryside, the film is a musical set on a cooperative farm. The director has flights of overwhelming inspiration, the writer has hours sweating over the results. From beginning to end, this comedy is a light once-over through the specialized world of cinematic foibles.
