Film • Jan 1, 1980
Deadline


A screenwriter loses the ability to distinguish between his fantasy world and reality. As he ruminates on his place in either realm and loses his grip, he begins to drift from his family while critics tear him apart. However, his priority remains a deadline that must be met at all costs, perhaps at costs that are too great.
