Adrien,  a  young  film  student,  embarks  on  a  journey  to  central  France  with  the  intention  of  making  a  film  work  in  progress,  without  a  script  or  actors.  He  is determined to make a masterpiece, a film that will leave a mark. On his journey he finds  himself  in  Torino  (Museo  Nazionale  del  Cinema,  in  the  Mole  Antonelliana),  Garessio (Cuneo), Copenaghen, Courtempierre, Courtempierre, the town where, in 1932, the great Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer made his most personal film, “Vampyr.” Here, Adrien's mind and life are mixed with Dreyer's. The boy finds his quest for a perfect artistic essence appended to that of the Danish master and must confront the results he achieved. Do these leave any hope alive, or do they show that  the  quest  is  and  always  has  been  only  illusory?  Animation,  fiction,  staging,  interviews,  archive  materials  will  mix  in  a  documentary  work  that  seeks penetrate the profound Dreyer psychological imagination.
