Ben, a young editor, has just landed his dream job to edit a documentary film at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. The catch is: he only has one week to cut a five-hour version down to size and the filmmaker, Cameron, doesn’t want to touch a frame.

Mark is a young art student, working in a burger place. One day an eccentric customer comes in, an older man named Bruno.
