Plot: Stephane Miroux returns to Paris to work in a printing firm that makes calendars. His vivid dreams are a compensation for the dull life he leads. Before his cardboard cameras, he invents a television program about dreams. One day, he meets Stephanie, his neighbour, and falls in love with her. Initially charmed by this astonishing young man's strange behavior, it then scares her away and Stephanie rejects him. Awkward at the art of seduction, Stephane decides to find the solution to his problem in the realm where imagination is king.
