In 1930s Hollywood, a talented but now washed-up silent film director, who is trapped in his mansion, spends his days making pornographic films for a fast-talking producer in an attempt to recapture his former glory. The director is disillusioned and haunted by memories of his past success, struggling to find meaning and satisfaction in the low-budget, sleazy productions he now creates. A young and eager starlet, hoping to rise to fame, becomes a part of his films, while the producer pressures him to increase productivity as the industry evolves around them.

As the realities of the film business encroach upon their secluded world, tensions rise and the characters are pushed to their emotional and moral limits. The starlet's naïveté is tested by the industry's harshness, and the director faces the stark contrast between his past achievements and present circumstances. Alongside a decadent supporting cast involved in the productions, each character's personal ambitions and inner demons unfold in the confined setting. Through their interactions, they grapple with the darker side of human nature and the often grim nature of their choices, all within the context of an industry on the cusp of revolution.
