Director Gaspard Bazin is working on a new feature film. For now, he's still looking at the fundraising and casting stage of the process. He calls upon Jean Almereyda, a once-fashionable producer who is now going through a bad patch, finding it increasingly difficult to raise the capital he needs for his ventures. His wife Eurydice dreams of being a movie star. A perverse game between the two men ensues, with Almereyda wanting to please his wife, but reluctant to demand a role for Eurydice because of Bazin's reputation as an incorrigible seducer.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jean Almereyda's name anagrams to 'Jean d'Alembert' and 'Mayerling' — Godard loves his linguistic puzzles.
Made for TV during Godard's 'return to narrative' phase, this was his collaboration with producer Marin Karmitz after years of political exile from mainstream cinema.
