Ovidijus Morkus, a watchmaker, accidentally wanders into a mysterious cinema and greedily watches Liza, a movie star, sleeping in bed. His life changes. A girl, Olimpija, he meets in the cinema, becomes his companion in the strange labyrinth of the cinema dream world. In the darkness of the cinema, mysterious officials of a film corporation are rummaging through the darkness of the theatre, searching for victims among the loyal audience and rewriting their fates in their cramped offices: to die under the wheels of a car, in a plane crash or from a stroke while sleeping quietly in bed.
