Little Gatsby

Humorous

A humorous remake of the masterpiece by Francis Scott Fitzgerald.

Little Gatsby is a mysterious young man who, despite his efforts, can’t seem to get noticed by the one he desires.

The former asks the latter for help in winning over the girl of his dreams.

  • A modern story that mixes elements of the classic coming-of-age novel, humorous fiction, and tales of first loves, while constantly winking at the masterpiece by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and the atmosphere of the 1920s/30s.
