An Argentine theater company sets off on a tour of various towns in France, performing Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, directed by Daniel Veronese. The actor who plays Treplev—the writer in love with Nina—and Perroud, a young film director, record this trip. What begins as a travelogue transforms into a duel of viewpoints: that of Perroud's camera versus that of "the Actor who plays Treplev."
