A young French journalist meets Salvador Dalí repeatedly for a documentary film project which never gets to start shooting...

Director's statement: To write and direct this tribute, I connected with Salvador Dalí's cosmic consciousness and let myself be guided, eyes closed. First, the Master ordered me to summon several brilliant actors to play his character (too complex for just one man), then together we visited Buñuel to steal a few images and ideas, then he led me by force into the depths of his morbid anguish and into his dreams to guide me, and finally I just about regained control of my film, to simply make it a declaration of love to this man. As Dalí himself said, his personality was probably his greatest masterpiece. My film modestly tells that story.
