The plot is an entertainment industry farce about filmmakers trying to make deals during the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

Kaz, a talkative (and maybe bogus) deal maker, promises $3 million if she'll use Millie, an aging French star.

But, Rick, a big producer, needs Millie for a small part in a fall movie or he loses his star, Tom Hanks.

In Cannes, actress Alice Palmer wants to have her debut in the cinema industry as director and her two friends have written a screenplay for Gena Rowlands.

However they are approached by the counterfeit crasher Kaz Naiman who convinces them to rewrite the scrip for the famous French actress Millie Marquand currently at the festival.
