고다르는 이 영화를 1996년 칸 영화제에 출품하여 건재를 과시했다. 뮈세의 연극, 보스니아 전쟁, 그리고 늙은 감독의 작품 만들기와 그 실패가 모차르트의 음악과 어우러진다. 고다르의 분신이기도 한 노감독을 통해 고다르는 상업이라는 이름으로 감독에게 가해지는 폭력을 보스니아 전쟁과 병치시킨다. 유럽의 장래에 대한 고다르의 우려가 엿보이는 작품.

Polly West, a very rich American star, has bought the castle of Sainte Apolline, a small village in Provence. As soon as she arrives, the dynamic actress causes trouble among the inhabitants. After having received her in confession, the priest seems to be taken by madness. To add to the turmoil, the country warden and the grocer enter her service. Honorin, the mayor, tries to cope and maintain order. While the people of the village keep asking questions, Polly flies to the rescue of the beautiful Italian girl Clara, who has been raped by the landlord Léonce. Soon, Honotin discovers that Polly is buying up the village's land using a few nominees. He then understands that this woman is not a stranger and that, a few years ago, the villagers chased her away because she was a mother, and these same villagers caused the death of her parents. Polly has returned to seek revenge.
What is the shady affair in which the woman is involved, and what is her role? Is or isn't the man a marquis? Who is the young man played by Fabrizio Bentivoglio, and why does he own that car? Does Basque nationalism have to do anything with the story? Everybody has something to hide, everybody seems guilty.
