The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
Amerika in den 1930er Jahren während der Wirtschaftskrise: Auch die Kellnerin Cecilia und ihr Mann Monk müssen sparen, da Monk seinen Job in der Fabrik nicht mehr hat, weil diese schließen musste. Geldsorgen hin, fauler Ehemann her, auf was Celia nicht verzichten will, ist das Kino. Woche für Woche erlebt sie hier den neusten Film und kann sich in eine andere, sorgenfreie Welt träumen. Doch dann geschieht eines Tages etwas eigentlich Unvorstellbares. Die Figur des Tom Baxter aus ihrem aktuellen Lieblingsfilm „Purple Rose of Cairo“ steigt in einer der Vorstellungen von der Leinwand und gesteht ihr seine Liebe. Cecilia kann diese Entwicklung nicht fassen und wird mitgerissen von der romantischen Vorstellung mit Baxter zu leben. Während die anderen Filmfiguren auf der Leinwand herumlungern, weil der Film ohne Tom nicht weiter laufen kann, herrscht in Hollywood Alarmstimmung. Dort versucht man alles, um die Geschehnisse geheim zu halten...
