Overview

Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers-his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives-each one begging him to get on with the show. In retreat from their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.
