This is de facto a film about a film, with the only difference being that the focus is exclusively on the extras. They are filmed while waiting to take their turn, while conversing with others, and thinking about their performances.

This film, on the contrary, gives them full consideration, revealing their personalities, what they experience, and what they dream of.
