This is a film about the fight against the terrible invincible enemy - the banality of life. Chekhovian provincial hopelessness will creep in, broken by sharp turns of Chaplin-esque humor. A bow to silent cinema and Chekhov.
A girl walks out as if of Pandora's Box to foretell the drama humankind is to face, paying for all sins, we have been piling up through the ages. A number of directors being parodied take turns to show their take on this drama and relate it to modern life. Getting tangled up in the opposition between the eternal and transient, the base and the sublime, it all turns into a cocktail of an absurd and profound poignancy.
