冬星，寒冷，偏僻，远离人类活动范围，但人类的一支仍旧在这里扎下根来，生长繁衍。
终于有一天，人类联盟发现了这一支兄弟。他们伸出了手：回来吧，我们的兄弟。
机动使，联盟与未知星球第一次沟通的使者，代表着人类联盟善意的手。担任这一职位的人必须坚强勇敢，因为他是孤身一人，深入未知；他必须睿智机敏，以理解当地的政治与人情；最重要的是，他必须胸怀宽广，能够包容当地种种奇异的观念和风俗。
冬星是对以上种种素质的最大考验，因为它是人类所知的唯 一 一 个单性繁殖社会。
闻所未闻的风俗、变幻莫测的政局、国家的冲突，加上猜疑、背叛和出卖，阴暗的冬星似乎将永远游离在人类联盟之外。
但黑暗中伸出了一只手。它是要与机动使相握，还是排斥来自远方的善意？它代表着光明，还是黑暗？
光明是黑暗的左手，黑暗是光明的右手。
——冬星诗人的作品

真相，永远掌握在极少数人的手里。
面对愚昧，神们自己也缄口不言……

A comic celebration of dreamers and their dreams, LIVING IN OBLIVION is the second film written and directed by Tom DiCillo. With a tone that teeters somewhere between Kafka and the Marx Brothers, it chronicles the hilarious misadventures of a group of people who have joined together to accomplish one of the most difficult goals imaginable - the making of a low-budget independent film. With an innovative and surprising structure that shifts fluidly between the movie being made and those making it, the film offers a rare and accurate -- if comically heightened -- look behind-the-scenes, with the people who make the scenes. How they make them -- and the fact that they manage to make them at all -- is what LIVING IN OBLIVION is all about.
Starring Steve Buscemi as director Nick Reve, LIVING IN OBLIVION highlights a day on the set of Nick's film where everything that could possibly go wrong, actually does. Struggling against ever-escalating odds to maintain his integrity and his sanity, Nick is both helped and hindered by his bumbling, if well-intentioned crew, headed by his cinematographer Wolf (Dermot Mulroney), a cameraman whose leather gear suggests that he is more inspired by Billy Idol than Sven Nykvist; a leading lady, Nicole (Catherine Keener), a talented but neurotic actress who is involved in a romance and a rivalry with her leading man, Chad Palomino (James Le Gros); an iron-willed assistant director, Wanda (Danielle Von Zerneck); and, for the first time ever on-screen, a Gaffer.

In 1980, an American journalist covering the Salvadoran Civil War becomes entangled with both the leftist guerrilla groups and the right-wing military dictatorship while trying to rescue his girlfriend and her children.
