Glamorous theater actress, Diane de Montalte, finds it difficult to accept that her 23-year- old gay, live-in son, Marc, wishes to live a more low-key life. While Marc travels frequently from Paris to Marrakesh to visit his lover, Dionys, Diane begins a casual relationship with the only somewhat dashing Roland.
A group of gay friends and lovers discuss love, sex, life and death as they exchange partners and try to dodge the bullet of AIDS in the drama Le traité du hasard. Patrick is a gay man whose circle of acquaintances provides the background for this story. They include Lou Rockfeller III, a flamboyant drag queen; Bruno (Bruno Anthony de Trigance), a former college professor who has since found success in the film industry; Daisy, a middle-aged author whose love life is a long litany of disasters; and Julien, a good-looking man who makes his living as a hustler. Julien was involved with Patrick at one time, and it turns out most of Patrick's friends have been with either him or Julien at one time or another -- which becomes a subject of grave concern when Julien develops a full-blown case of AIDS.

나레이터인 감독 자신의 목소리는 전통의 단절을 고민하는 유대 설화를 들려주며 영화를 시작한다. “기도방법을 잊어버렸다면 어떻게 해야 할까요?...대를 이을 자식도 없다면 어떻게 해야 할까요?....” 이윽고 한판 굿처럼 유대 공동체의 미국 정착 수난사가 펼쳐진다. 유대 디아스포라에 관한 아커만의 작품 중 가장 직설적이면서도 가장 연극적인 이 영화의 대부분은 뉴욕에서 촬영되었으며, 그녀의 작품 중에서는 드물게 대사도 영어다.

Chantal Akerman was commissioned by Visions to make this short film for £20,000. It was first shown on 21 November 1984, on Channel 4. Akerman herself plays the role of a director visiting Hollywood to find financing from an uncle she hardly knows. Very little goes to plan… Also stars Aurore Clement and Colleen Camp.

A filmmaker’s self-portrait, asking hard questions of herself and of us. Invoking Aurore Clément as a kind of stand-in or proxy, a glamorous counterpart to Akerman who sports a drawn-on moustache. What is cinema for? Who is it for? If the Mosaic prohibition on making graven images includes film images, then where does that leave a Jewish filmmaker?
