NOTTING HILL PROJECT

TASK 1

1. Storyline

-El somni de tot home es fa realitat per en William Tracker, un amo sense èxit d’ una llibreria de Notting Hill, quan Anna Scott, la noia més bonica del planeta i millor actriu, entra a la seva botiga. Més tard quan ell mateix encara no pot creure’s el que ha passat, és creua amb ella de nou, aquest cop vessant-li el suc de taronja per sobre. L’Anna accepta anar al seu apartament, que esta a prop, a canviar-se, i li dona les gràcies amb un petó, el qual sembla sorprendre-li més a ella que a ell. Finalment l’Anna i el William s’arriben a conèixer millor durant aquests mesos, però estar amb la dona més volguda del món no és fàcil , tampoc al voltant dels teus amics més propers, ni davant de l’agressiva premsa.
