Summaries

A film director tries to create the best film in history, but finds out that human abilities have their limits.

A movie director is approached by his old math teacher with a great movie idea: the Devil declares that the Earth is hell. The director rejects the idea, but subsequent events in the life of a writer, a friend of the director's, and a young prostitute he loves seem to prove the math teacher's idea.—Erik Gregersen <[email protected]>
