Cent-quatorze spectateurs, essentiellement féminins, assistent à la projection de l'adaptation cinématographique d'un classique de la littérature perse du XII siècle. Ces spectateurs s'émeuvent de l'histoire d'amour qui se déroulent sous leurs yeux : le film n'apparaît dans la mise en abyme qu'à travers sa bande son et les réactions du public. Néanmoins, le réalisateur trompe le spectateur puisque les actrices n'assistent pas réellement à une représentation filmique.
