A man's unsellable Melville screenplay reaches Michael Cimino, who reads it in New York. Absurd escapades follow, taking in a Parisian museum of hunting, the immigrants' island in New York harbour and a lake in Italy, along with Isabelle Huppert, a spotted dog and a waiter who looks like the French president.
