Marc, a bipolar and paranoid filmmaker, cannot tolerate seeing his current project picked apart by his producers. The clips he's been able to sneak a look at lead him to fear the worst. With his editor as an accomplice, he manages to spirit away the raw footage to his aunt's place in the Cévennes, to finish the film as he envisions it. Yet, instead of its swift completion, the process is perpetually deferred, as he creates endless diversions and impasses, which alternate between the comic and the downright disturbing.

Eight years after his last film, Michel Gondry is back with an alter-ego tortured by burlesque afflictions. The comic The Book of Solutions comes to Haifa from its premiere at the Cannes Festival.

Filmography: Be Kind Rewind (2008), The Science of Dreams (2006), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Human Nature (2001).
