Polish director Jerzy (Jerzy Radziwilowicz) is working on a film that is a study in light and image and is using paintings by Goya, Velasquez, and other masters for the scenery. There are problems: the actors do not understand the story, and filming is behind schedule because Jerzy cannot get the lighting right. Now the backers are complaining that the film lacks a story. Meanwhile, Jerzy is ending his affair with Hanna (Hanna Schygulla) whose husband just happens to own the hotel where Jerzy's cast and crew are staying. And then there is his other affair with a factory worker Isabelle (Isabelle Huppert) who is trying to unionize her fellow workers. And Jerzy still wonders why there must be a story.
