The starting point of this film is a book with unfilmed scripts by Antonioni: That Bowling Alley on the Tiber. Visual artist Baudelaire frequently makes use of photo-based video pieces and multimedia installations to evoke hypothetical films. This film essay is ‘acted out’ by the real-life critic Philippe Azoury, who plays a non-existent critic discussing these non-existent films from Antonioni’s non-existent ‘Japanese period’.
