| Summary |
A famous film director is convalescing at a spa as he searches for renewed inspiration. Surrounded by the usual crowd of fawning admirers and producers, he escapes from them in a dream that mixes realities of his past with images of his present; his past glories as a film maker, his first boyhood experience of sex with a prostitute, his relationship with his parents. |
