However, when Mr Pompo entrusts him with the production of a 15-second commercial, he discovers the joy of immersing himself in film-making. One day, Jean is handed the script for her next film, MEISTER, by Mr Pompo. It is the return of the legendary actor and is head-numbingly exciting. He is convinced that it will be a big hit, but ...... to his surprise, it is Gene, whose commercials have been highly praised, who is nominated to direct the film!
