The film opens on a character known only as “Le Dormeur.” After waking up one morning, he somehow locates and opens a secret door in his apartment, and wanders into a packed movie house where an audience watches King Vidor’s classic The Crowd and a giant dog wanders up and down the aisles.
Meanwhile, Oscar rides to work in a white limousine driven by his close friend and associate Céline; Oscar’s job, it seems, involves using makeup, elaborate costumes, and props to carry out a number of complex and unusual scenarios. Of these, one has the actor performing an action sequence and simulated sex with an actress on a soundstage while he’s filmed by an off-camera director.
