In Citizen Kane, Welles plays Charles Foster Kane, whose fictional life partially mirrors that of Hearst's. However, Chicago inventor and utilities magnate Samuel Insull, Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick, and even Welles's own life were used in creating Kane.

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 documentaire retrace l'itinéraire de Patrick Dewaere, depuis ses débuts à l'âge de 4 ans jusqu'à son suicide, le 16 juillet 1982. On découvre ainsi qu'il appartient à une famille d'artistes dont les parents n'hésitent pas à mettre leur progéniture sur les planches et les plateaux de cinéma ou de télévision. Le métier connaît alors « les petits Maurin » que la maman, Mado Maurin, sait adroitement placer auprès des producteurs et réalisateurs. Le documentaire alterne ainsi des extraits de films et téléfilms et des entretiens avec son agent Serge Rousseau, Miou-Miou, sa fille Angèle Herry-Leclerc, ses épouses Sotha et Elsa-Malvina Chalier ainsi que le témoignage de plusieurs réalisateurs qui l'ont fait tourner parmi lesquels Bertrand Blier qui l'a reçu chez lui la veille de son suicide et avec lequel il a longuement dialogué.

Since he first saw E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial as a child, he has had a crush on its star Drew Barrymore. Now, more than 20 years later, Herzlinger combines his passions for filmmaking and Drew Barrymore to document his quest for a date with the actress. With $1,100 he won at a game show (The winning answer being "Drew Barrymore") and a digital video camera, he has 30 days to complete his documentary before he has to return the camera under Circuit City's 30-Day Return Policy.
