A magician, Celine (Juliet Berto), and a librarian, Julie (Dominique Labourier), are transported to a mansion (is it real or imaginary?) where a strange melodrama keeps repeating itself. Celine claims that she is the nanny to Madlyn (Nathalie Asnar) whose widower father, Olivier (Barbet Schroeder), is being pursued by two women, Sophie (Marie-France Pisier) and Camille (Bulle Ogier). It is beginning to look like Sophie and Camille will stop at nothing to gain Olivier's love, and Celine is trying to shield Madlyn from the tension.

Cast: Paul Jones, Jean Shrimpton, Mark London, Max Bacon, Jeremy Child, William Job, James Cossins, Frederick Danner, Arthur Pentelow, Steve Kirby, Victor Henry, Malcolm Rogers, Doreen Mantle, Michael Graham, Michael Barrington
In this satire on government and pop culture, a futuristic British regime uses a timid rock star, Steven Shorter (Paul Jones), to control the masses. Stephen performs songs like the rock version of "Onward Christian Soldiers," and everyone loves his image of a religious boy who is ready to obey. All goes well–until Steven meets gorgeous painter Vanessa Ritchie (Jean Shrimpton) who influences him to acknowledge that his life is a sham. When he looks at what is really happening, he revolts.
