- Synopsis:
Dan Gillis (Jeff Goldblum), an American screenwriter living in Paris, recently abandoned by his wife, and getting used to his new life as a bachelor while trying to take care of his son, Danny (Jerome Natali) - is commissioned to write a script. The offer comes from Legrand, a successful producer with whom he has worked in the past, but on this occasion he is being asked to write an unconventional story with Malcolm (Dexter Fletcher), a young and unknown film director. Dan is undecided about the offer, seeing it as far from the kind of work he has grown used to, but Legrands insistence and the intrigue personality of the young director finally convince him to accept the work despite the reticence of Marilyn (Miranda Richardson), his beautiful but disabled agent. As he starts to work, Dan discovers that there is more at stake than just a movie. His life will be changed as he immerses himself in the closed universe of incestuous relations surrounding Malcolm and his beautiful young sister Jenny (Liza Walker), with whom Dan soon becomes obsessed. Dan's infatuation with Jenny forces him to search for clues about the whole business of the making of this film. In this quest, he discovers that he has been conned and is caught within a web of greed and ambition from which he will be unable to escape. - Actors:
