PLOT SUMMARY

Actor Nicolas Bro's marriage is failing and he tries to distract himself away from his problems by making a new film with his increasingly disinterested wife, Lene, in the lead role. But he becomes so obsessed that he drives his cast and crew to distraction and Lene goes into hiding in Berlin. With his grip on reality now lost altogether, Bro continues trying to make his film with horrifying results.
