A recent divorcé blows his entire life savings on a 100%-deerskin jacket, then escapes to a sleepy French alpine village where the jacket begins to exert a hold on him. He falls into the guise of an indie filmmaker, enlisting the help of an aspiring film editor to assemble a most unusual film.

Quentin Dupieux’s deadpan comedy on the narcissistic nature of filmmaking is luridly obsessed with objects, from suede jackets to mirrors and cameras. Sharing an easy chemistry on screen, Jean Dujardin and Adèle Haenel lend charm and poignancy to this profoundly funny, fantastical fable.
