An outlandish look at modern society that has Mastroianni living on a Mediterannean island with his dog in a round cement house. Deneuve comes to the island, the pair meet, and she soon becomes Mastroianni's lover. Jealous of the dog, Deneuve kills it and takes its place, wearing its collar
and fetching sticks. It turns out that Mastroianni has a suicidal wife, and when he goes to visit her, Deneuve follows. She brings him back to their island retreat. Before long French Legionnaires are scouting the island for deserters, and the lovers are painting a Nazi airplane pink. A lot of
"artistic" nonsense and a waste of time and money.
