Whatever happened to this promising young actress from Hollywood? A search for "the woman in the car" through the never-ending suburbia of Los Angeles, where the myth of cinema reigns. A sort of thriller without a corpse.

High school student Dana moves to the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles after her North Dakota parents get divorced and falls in with the wrong crowd.

We can barely see the house plunged into semi-darkness, from which Angela emerges. Mid-morning heat, early summer. The house looks big, there's a garden, a car parked in front of the door: it's one of those long American cars. Los Angeles, around West Hollywood. Angela gets in the car, starts the engine, starts. She is wearing a summer dress, she is in her thirties. She drives slowly.; follows the mass of cars traveling at a moderate pace. She takes the avenues that open up in front of her, then perhaps by chance enters a highway, which she leaves a few minutes later. She drives aimlessly. Palm trees, foliage, cars, everything is covered in dust under the sun. "Slow city moving fast"... Film presented at the National Festival of Young French Cinema in Trouville in 1978. - google translation of senscritique's description of the film.

A group of friends listen as one man tells them a story about a time when, in a small cafe, he discovered a peephole into the ladies' bathroom and became addicted to looking through it at female genitals. They ask him questions and come to conclusions about sex. This is a filmed, scripted version. Then, the actual person who this happened to relates the same story; this time, however, it is an unscripted documentary, in which the same things occur as in the scripted one.

Some unknown source has interrupted all television transmissions around the world. In place of the regular broadcasts, a lineup of extremely tasteless programs and commercials have been substituted. Included in the mix are such show as The Shitheads, The Charles Whitman Invitational, and commercials for a number of improbable products.
