A young stunt man is obsessed by a sort of neurotic perfectionism. He demands to repeat his scene on a film set and thus clashes with the director. As he analyzes some segments of the film on a moviola, he notices that there is an extraordinary resemblance between one of the female members of the film crew and a young women whose images he has kept morbidly in one of his videos. He is shaken emotionally but sure that he can control his emotional state. So, he returns to work. However, his faith in his selfcontrol tapers off more and more. As he compares the imagewoman with the real one, he ends up awakening the pathological side of his human and professional behaviour until he reaches a final "catharsis".
