An inventive remembrance of the impact of the Hollywood blacklist on two American classics, rendered as a visually mesmerizing dialogue between Carl Foreman and Elia Kazan.

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of that era, so many movies were made in Hollywood about it. The final defeat of the Spanish Republic left an open wound in the hearts of those who sympathized with its cause. The eventful life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie (1904-1985), one of the Hollywood Ten, serves to analyze this sadness, the tragedy of Spain and its consequences.

Salem 1692. The young Abigail, seduced and abandoned by John Proctor, accuses John's wife of being a witch in revenge. A series of tragic trials soon befall Salem as fear and suspicion blur the lines of reality.

Quatro ícones culturais dos anos 1950 (Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio e o senador Joseph McCarthy) que teoricamente poderia ter se conhecido, mas provavelmente não, ficcionalmente participam desta moderna fábula americana do pós Segunda Guerra Mundial. Visualmente intrigante, o filme tem uma progressão fluida de flash-backs e flash-forwards centradas em ficcionais observações atuais de Einstein, memórias de infância e apreensões com o futuro.

Um caixa de restaurante se finge de escritor, para ajudar seus amigos que estão na lista negra, e apresenta o roteiro como sendo seu trabalho, mas a perseguição do Macarthismo o obriga a tomar uma posição. No início de 1950 Howard Prince, que trabalha como caixa em um restaurante, ajuda a um amigo escritor na lista negra com a venda para uma emissora de TV de um script em seu próprio nome. O dinheiro é útil para pagar suas dívidas de jogo, então ele assume mais três desses "clientes". Howard é politicamente muito inocente, mas o envolvimento com Florence - que deixa de TV por desgosto com essas perseguições - e a amizade com a ex-estrela do show - agora ele próprio na lista negra - fazem com que Howard comece a pensar sobre o que realmente está acontecendo.
