Summary
Vito Catene, a young producer, is preparing a new film entitled
’Zanzibar’. He hires Maréchal, an established filmmaker
with several successes under his belt, to direct the film, and he
selects Camille Dor, a well-known young actress, for the lead
role. Although Camille’s name will make it easier to finance the
film, Maréchal resents having to work with her. Catene,
who is in love with the actress, comes to her defence, but then he
discovers she is taking drugs...
