Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant) is a man of many identities. Driven around Paris by his chauffeur, Celine (Edith Scob), he makes use of an elaborate dressing room in his limousine to assume the appearance and identity of a number of different figures. At various points throughout the day Oscar is a businessman, a beggar, an assassin, a father and an old woman, venturing out into the world to engage with others in each role and embarking on bizarre adventures that include kidnapping a beautiful model, Kay (Eva Mendes). What is at the root of Oscar's extraordinary behaviour? (Artificial Eye)
