After his father's death, a Parisian medical researcher returns to a region of Portugal to deal with part of the family legacy - a prosthesis factory owned by an old family friend. He finds the factory owner and his wife "possessed" by the local Marquis and finds himself constantly accosted by all sorts of supernatural manifestations.
In this mystical comedy, Felicien has traveled to Portugal from France soon after the end of the First World War. It seems that his recently deceased father had invested a lot of money in a factory located in a remote village, and he has come to evaluate that investment. He gets some clues to the real situation in the town when the man driving his coach refuses to go any further and leaves him on a section of road which is practically paved with abandoned crutches. After a short trek, he meets up with the local dignitary who is to show him around, and he meets a priest and an artist. The priest gives a further clue to the events taking place in the village when he indicates that he's completely exasperated with the endless miracles that seem to be taking place. From that point onward, amazing coincidences, visions and miracles take place in great numbers.

Pierre, a middle-aged tourist guide, is the victim of a sudden failure : he does not recognize anything about him any longer.

It takes as its starting point two plays by the Spanish Golden Age dramatist
Calderón de la Barca, which Ruiz had directed on the stage; both of which were
called Life is a Dream and tell the same story but in different ways. The original
plays concern the son of the King of Poland, who has been imprisoned by his
father because it is predicted that he will depose him. One day the king orders
the sleeping son to be brought to the palace and given to believe that he is king
for a day, causing his son to be confused about what is real and what is a dream.
In Ruiz’s film, a literature teacher has learned by heart the names of 15,000
militants opposed to the military junta in Chile by memorising Calderón’s play and
using it as a mnemonic device. When he is captured, he has to forget everything
so as not to betray his comrades, but ten years later he tries to recapture his
memory by visiting a cinema showing a film based on Life is a Dream. Ruiz uses
this setting to explore a complex set of relations dealing with memory and the
layering of reality. The film is also about the experience of cinema, as the virtuality
of the film is confounded with the materiality of the cinema auditorium,
which becomes a place in which the story is enacted. For instance, characters on
a train, whom we at first take to be part of the film the teacher is watching, are
revealed to be on a model train set that runs around the cinema, in which other
strange things occur: birds fly around the auditorium and a Western shoot-out
takes place across the seats.

Set in 1973 during the coup d'etat in Chile, Max recalls his encounters in London during Worl War II with French aviator Antoine, a childhood hero he first met in his native country one morning in 1932 and who initiated him to the wonders of aviation.

The movie is a story told quickly through a series of stills, as in , with quavery synth music and dry French narration..

A follow up to Jean Vigo’s short 1930 documentary A propos de Nice, A propos de Nice, la suite (1995), is really a collection of seven short documentary films combined into one feature.

This mystical short film has a narrator telling us about a "strange philanthropical secret society" that has been in existence for seven years at a certain building. Its members, Philokinetes, devote their energy and money to studying and promoting a fragment of film they call 'The Film to Come'. The fragment runs for twenty-three seconds and is in a loop. Thus projected, it can last for hours, days, even years. Apparently, after viewing this fragment one can become somewhat enlightened, and in a deep hypnotic state, brought about by over-repetition of the revealing fragment. As the narrator says: "Once you reach this state, you can see, so they say." The next section of the film is a watershed: for the narrator is now a different voice and telling us that the fragment has been stolen and the Philokinetes were now in a deep identity crisis. There is a large book of apocryphal wisdom shown called 'Double Book of the Dancing Mysteries' that the sect read. Knowledge derived from this book of "mumbo-jumbo and untruths" leads the Philokinetes to believe that cinema had a life independent to humans. Cinema, they said, is "the primeval soup of a new life form. Therefrom were to emerge pure screening creatures, or non topical beings. Vast sets of loops, from which everyone would own a short endless return to self." Later the Philokinetes claim that the lost fragment was found by the narrator's daughter, an event which sparks off feasts and banquets which lasted for weeks. The narrator's voice changes again as he dies whilst overlooking two priests undergoing a solemn leafing through the Double Book, after they have took a vow of illiteracy. The narrator's soul has now run away to a cinema, but more importantly, it had become a part of the fragment entitled The Film to Come.
Shot mainly in black and white, Ruiz's familiar shooting style and camera angles are evident in his esoteric and interesting nine minute film.

Shortly after murdering his professor, a young man encounters a sailor who offers him a position on his ship in exchange for 3 Danish crowns and his attention as he recounts his life story.

Four intertwining stories of bizarre occurrences in Paris featuring a man who was stolen away by fairies, a professor who becomes a tramp, the lovers who inherit a chateau – and the last tale that connects all that has gone before.
