A documentary crew films the casting call, Furch's 14-day shoot, a lighting technician's becoming an actor, and the aftermath of the suicide (before filming ends) of Claudia Fielers, the film's leading lady. Comments by Roman Polanski, Carl Amery, and an unseen narrator connect the possibility of snuff films to the process of a commercial enterprise such as this and Fielers' suicide. Furch pleads innocent, cloaking his work in Protestant virtues. His posturings and his direction are comical; the commentary may be tongue in cheek. What about the appended snuff footage? Is this documentary for real?

A documentary following pornographer Robert Furch as he tries to make a film supposedly based on Lysistrata, but his leading lady, Claudia Fielers, commits suicide before the film is completed. Roman Polanski, Carl Amery and the narrator appearto suggest that Fielers' death may have been murder, the actress killed to appear in a "snuff movie."
