Every night, after finishing work on the script, Pablo writes in his notebook and every morning he crosses out what he wrote the night before. \u003ci\u003eThe Crossed-Out Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e is Pablo’s diary of this time: being brought food by a maid; being threatened with a gun; vociferously arguing with the director about what he’s written the previous day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe clash between the two men and their different approaches leads to a movie being made, a gun going off, an unlikely escape, and a final confrontation.
