Hungarian director Laszlo Kovacs (László Szabó) goes to Hollywood, where his compatriot Agi (Ágnes Bánfalvy) tries to get him started on a film document about the late movie director Orson Welles. She sends him the issue #82 of American Film magazine, November 1983, with several pages marked on controversial statements of Wells and other personalities. He gets curious, meets the young woman Agi, and she suggests a number of people to interview, who had known the late film director. Like his model, he is engulfed in the world of movies, alcohol, sex, film stardom and unfinished or inconclusive movies. A docudrama told in the style of Wells himself, with interviews presented and re-enacted so that ambivalence prevails over what is true and what is fake.
