Sunset Boulevard 1950.
Joe Gillis is a struggling hack B-movie Hollywood screenwriter who is having
problems making ends meet, his car, a symbol to him of independence, which is
threatened to be repossessed due to he being behind in payments. In eluding
the re-possessors, Joe stumbles onto the decaying Sunset Boulevard mansion
of fifty year old faded silent movie star Norma Desmond, who has largely
been forgotten by the movie going public. The only other person besides
Norma living at the mansion is Norma's valet, Max, whose unofficial job is
to prime Norma's fragile but larger than life ego. It is somewhat due to
Max's lies about the public still clamouring for her that a delusional Norma
is working toward her return to pictures in what is a vanity project. Even
if her script was any good, the lead role should be filled by someone half
Norma's age. Joe senses an opportunity to act as Norma's ghost writer, he
only wanting to make a quick buck to pay off his creditors, not caring if
the movie gets produced. In manoeuvring to do the ghost writing work, Joe
may be unprepared for what else Norma has in store for him in her need to be
loved and wanted. As Joe gets seduced by the comfort that Norma's wealth can
afford, it may be too late for him when he finally comes to the realization
about what he really wants and how much he has to forgo in stoking
Norma's ego.
