Jean Marc intenta evadirse de su mediocre vida por medio de la imaginación. Consigue así entrar en un mundo de fantasía donde es un gran héroe, un caballero de brillante armadura, una estrella del escenario y de la pantalla y un novelista de éxito que tiene a las mujeres rendidas a sus pies. En la vida real es un chupatintas, un marido insignificante y un padre fracasado que fuma a escondidas. Pero, a pesar de todo, no sucumbe a la fantasía y decide buscar otra oportunidad en el mundo real.

The film consists largely of a series of interviews with female filmmakers from several different countries and filmmaking eras. Some, such as Agnès Varda and Catherine Breillat (both from France), have been making films for decades in a conscious effort to provide an alternative to the male filmmaking model; others, such as Moufida Tlatli (Tunisia) and Carine Adler (England), are relative newcomers to directing, and their approaches seem more personal and less political. The film as a whole manages to cover some important topics in the feminist debate about film -- how does one construct a female gaze, how can one film nude bodies without objectifying the actors (of either sex), what constitutes a strong female role -- while also making it clear that “women’s film” comprises as many different approaches to filmmaking as there are female filmmakers.
