We are in New York in the 1920s. It is the era of jazz, a time of wonders, art, excess, where the belief that money can buy happiness still prevails. Gatsby is immensely wealthy, lives in a mansion, has a butler, servants, a Rolls-Royce, and throws legendary parties. No one knows where he comes from or how he amassed such a great fortune, yet everyone is captivated by his mysterious past and lifestyle. He has something else. An absolute, unfulfilled, romantic love for the fragile but beautiful Daisy. Gatsby stands out. And he is so hopelessly idealistic that he becomes truly magnificent.
