A group of friends are summoned to... the estate of a celebrated playwright to hear what they believe to be the reading of his will. Instead they are treated to a viewing of his work 'Eurydice', performed by a group of fresh young actors. Having at one time or another all starred in the play themselves, they are tasked with judging whether or not it is deemed worthy of being performed within the late playwright's estate. However, when they slowly begin to interact with the play, acting out their performances from years long past, their absorption with both the on screen performance and their own memories causes their interaction to drift from reality into the increasingly surreal.

Theatre, memory and the past combine as a group of actors reunite on the wishes of their former director. Informed by telephone that noted theatre director Antoine d'Anthac (Denis Denis Podalydès) has died, a group of actors are requested to attend his home to view a videotaped performance of the play 'Eurydice', by a young theatre troupe called La Compagnie de la Colombe. All of the actors gathered together, including Mathieu Almaric, Sabine Azéma, Jean-Noël Brouté, Anne Consigny, Pierre Arditi and Anny Duperey (all playing themselves), have performed the play in the past, and as they watch, they find themselves inadvertantly acting out their former roles, becoming part of the play as the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur.
