Tragicomedy on a film set. Jonathan (the filmmaker) can't get Gérard (the actor) to play the key scene of the film (the 'Climax') as it was written. The producer and film crew give more credit to Gérard, who is well known and 'bankable', than to Jonathan who is a first time director. But the screenplay narrates his granfather's life... and Jonathan is fighting not to get his film as well as 'his' story stolen.
