Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. The film was shot on location in Tibet, China, the Himalayas, Oman, Morocco, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Northern Ireland. For the audience it is both an epic physical journey and an intimate mental exploration. The story has moments of life and death, birth and burial and as such has much in common with the Tibetan book of the dead and the concept of the wheel of life.

Depressed, Preston is visited by the ghost of Ingmar Bergman who tells him to use his misery as the material for a great film just as he did in his 'Scenes from a Marriage'. Taking Bergman’s advice, Preston decides to make a film, in an attempt to prove his wife wrong and in the hope of winning her back. Using the facilties of the school and the students as his crew, Preston shoots his film but soon finds that he is visited by the ghosts of series of famous, dead European directors who offer him advice on how to improve his film. Following their wise but disparate counsel his film goes wildly out of control and becomes a huge, sprawling, incoherent mess. This comic fable about the creative process is a hymn to European filmaking - an 'Eight & a Half' meets 'Play It Again, Sam' for modern times.
