Summary
A Taiwanese director is invited to make a film about the story of
Salome at the Louvre museum. Even though he can speak neither
French nor English, he insists on casting Jean-Pierre Léaud in
the role of King Herod. Meanwhile, the film’s publicity-conscious
producers have decided that a star model be given the part of
Salome. When filming gets underway it isn’t long before the whole
project becomes derailed once the director has learned of the death of
his mother...
