A Polish director is in Switzerland with his crew to make Passion, a film based on tableaux vivants inspired by great paintings from art history.

At the same time, the man finds himself emotionally torn between a shy, stuttering factory worker and the sophisticated owner of the hotel where he is staying.
At the thirty-fourth minute, Myriem Roussel strips totally naked and walks onto a film set, then sits on the edge of a swimming pool. There are other naked actresses on set. At the forty-first minute, we see Myriem Roussel naked again. She is still sitting on the edge of the pool, but this time there are no other actresses.
