Simon, a well-known French director, starts shooting his next film, a story about workers fighting to protect their factory from being relocated. But nothing goes as planned: his producer Viviane wants to rewrite the ending and is threatening to cut the budget; his own crew goes on strike; his personal life is in shambles; and, to make things worse, his lead actor Alain is an egocentric jerk. Joseph, an extra who wants to get into the film industry, agrees to direct the making of and shoots behind-the-scenes footage. He takes his role very seriously and starts following the crew around, capturing the whole mess. What follows is proof that the making-of project is sometimes far better than the film itself.
