In the 18th century, English aristocrats had, among their better known strange customs, one really strange one: they kept "ornamental hermits" for their gardens. These were actual people who were willing to live in squalid conditions and serve as something like museum exhibits for the amusement of the wealthy. This movie takes that notion and transfers it to 18th century France. In the story, an English hermit Rupert Everett) has somehow been brought to France in the period following the French Revolution, and prior to the Napoleonic Era, a period (1795-1799) known as "The Directory." He eventually comes down out of his tree into a chateau owned by an Italian nobleman (Ugo Tognazzi) and his wife.

Terrorist
Esta comédia absurda, com seu extenso grupo de vigaristas, ladrões, anarquistas, prostitutas, inspetores-chefes, negociantes de arte e inventores, lembra as vibrantes tapeçarias de Robert Altman. A história gira em torno de dois objetos, um conjunto raro de porcelana de Limoges, do século XVIII, e um retrato aristocrático do século XIX. Quando esses itens são passados, vendidos ou roubados de um personagem para outro, uma vertiginosa dança em volta do excesso começa a tomar forma, o que sugere que, se a história não se repetir, certamente rima. Juntamente com o co-escritor Gérard Brach, cujos outros créditos de co-escrita incluem Repulsão e Tess, Otar Iosseliani usa um leve toque para expor a futilidade da classe e ordem social, transformando em insignificantes as preocupações dos ricos e pobres. Premiada com o Prémio Especial do Júri no 41.º Festival Internacional de Cinema de Veneza.
