Film Synopsis

Early one morning, a film crew turns up at a bourgeois residence in an upmarket district of Paris to make a film without the owners of the apartment knowing.  Assisted by the actress Carmen Maura, Benjamin Ballon is about to make his first full-length film, which is far from being a conventional film.  It is a film that is intended to convey the pleasure of making a film and the difficulties that must be overcome along the way.  When the lead actor Michel Aumont fails to turn up, Benjamin has no choice but to stand in for him, but soon realises that he is telling his own story...
