Hollywood, the capital of the American dream, long embodied glamour and grandeur: majestic theaters, towering palm trees, golden light, and pastel-colored cars. Today, movie theaters are closing, façades are crumbling, and the homeless sleep atop the stars of Hollywood Blvd. While the media proclaims the decline of this cinematic Mecca, this film sets out to uncover the remnants of a bygone golden age. Through the iconic figure of Marilyn Monroe, a symbol of that era, the camera explores a city in decline, where myth collides with reality. The portrait of a legend becomes, in turn, the portrait of a city in transformation.
