Movie Synopsis: Barton (John Turturro) is a good screenwriter in New York, and his screenplay has just been recognized on Broadway, and good things follow. A Hollywood studio invited him to write a B-movie script about wrestling, and Barton came to Hollywood. Barton began his work in a dilapidated hotel, but the inspiration was delayed, and he fell into great distress. Even more unfortunately, at this moment, all kinds of strange things happened in the room next to Patton, making him feel like he was in a purgatory on earth, and all kinds of absurd and ridiculous illusions appeared in his mind from time to time...
