This work tracks the disintegrating relationship between Callow the actor and Makavejev the director during the fraught 1987 filming of "Manifesto". From the initially high hopes of a mutually creative partnership, there is a descent into a nightmare of paranoia, insecurity and bitterly contested artistic differences.
Interspersed with Callow's personal and inevitably subjective narrative are comments from the director who takes piquant advantage of his "right to play". Simon Callow reads his own story.
