The film follows real-time stories of actors, directors and cinema viewers in four different countries. In Tunisia, a documentary film director struggles to have his frank film about human sexuality be seen in their conservative culture. In India, a young actress struggles with the challenges of making a name for herself while dealing with racist barriers. And in Scotland, actress Tilda Swinton and filmmaker Mark Cousins, create a film festival that travels to audiences rather than having the audiences come to the festival. These stories jump back and forth as the narratives develop, interspersed with scenes from video stores, projection booths and homes of all kinds. Toward the end of film there are brief commentaries by Indian film director Sudhir Mishra and Chinese director Fruit Chan.

Le réalisateur "Nicholas Ray" est impatient de terminer un dernier film avant sa mort imminente d'un cancer. Wim Wenders travaille sur son propre film Hammett (1983) à Hollywood, mais s'envole pour New York pour aider Ray à réaliser son dernier souhait. L'intention initiale de Ray est de faire un film de fiction sur un peintre mourant qui navigue vers la Chine pour trouver un remède à sa maladie. Lui et Wenders discutent de cette idée, mais c'est évidemment irréaliste compte tenu de l'état de santé de Ray.
