Kyros is a struggling filmmaker injured by a collapsing wall during some bizarre if not inane dance movement performance. His leg is fractured and two ligaments are torn. On crutches he has become temporarily disabled.
Kyros proposes producing a film about his temporary disability and how that effects the relationships around him. It will also feature his permanently disabled cousin afflicted with multiple sclerosis.
Should Kyros sue the gallery owner where the accident occurred and the performer that pulled the wall causing it to tumble on Kyros? Initially Kyros takes the high and mighty view all performers are in a community and morality and solidarity should take precedence over legality. Kryos learns slowly that performers may be more interested in promoting their own interests in preference to the furtherance of this mythical community.
Friends are not really the friends Kyros anticipated they would be and some take advantage of his selflessness.
Aside from morality investigated in the film there is the physicality of the disabled being ignored and sidelined.
There are comedic moments particularly the ebb and flow of operatic music. A spectacular but absurd messianic and 2001 Space Odyssey ending.
Definitely one of those artistic films not destined for the mainstream but go ahead and revel in the symbolism as after all it is a movie about a movie about a movie.
