A playful, visually stylish comedy-drama about artistic ambition and romantic entanglement set in 1960s Paris, where a young filmmaker navigates the gap between commercial work and personal vision.

A young filmmaker in 1960s Paris juggles directing a cheesy sci-fi debacle, directing his own personal art film, coping with his crumbling relationship with his girlfriend, and a new-found infatuation with the sci-fi film's starlet.
