Peekman is a wildly popular actor-director, famous for blockbuster physical comedies in which he stars with his wife Kiki. However, the more successful he becomes, the more he begins to suspect that, deep down, he has nothing to say. In a bid for the artistic legitimacy that he craves, and as his marriage flounders, he attempts a serious Holocaust film, while Kiki moves on to create her own one-woman show. When Peekman encounters Debora, a poet who has no idea who he is, he finds himself desperate to win her approval. This does not go well.
