Luc, a film student, reappears one day in the life of his childhood friend, camera in hand. He moves into his house, determined to make Lôïc the main character of his film. Devoted body and soul to his project, Luc does not hesitate for a second to manipulate his friend's life. He hires a real actor, a transvestite, and creates for him the character of a woman, Céline. Her role: to seduce Loïc...
In a French nightclub, choreographed song and dance routines are performed, rather than a streamlined narrative. They tell the story of Parisian culture and politics from the 1920s—1980s. A disparate, anachronistic series of characters, including an ordinary waiter, a Nazi collaborator, resistance fighters, and 1960s student protestors gather to celebrate and satirize 20th century France's icons, demons, and social changes.
Presented as if it were an archive from the beginning of the 20th century, like a Pathé newsreel, this film tells the story of the life of Etienne-Jules Marey, the 19th century pioneer of photography and cinema, famous for studying animal and human locomotion.
