Joe/Narcissus (Jack Bittner) is an ordinary man who has just signed a contract to rent a room. As he wonders how he is going to pay the rent, he realizes that he can see the contents of his own brain unfolding by staring into his eyes in a mirror. He then realizes that he can apply this gift to others and creates a company where he will sell his clients (frustrated and neurotic of all kinds) tailor-made dreams based on what he was able to discover about their minds. The waiting room is crowded from the first day of its activity.

Each of the film’s seven dream sequences is actually the creation of an avant-garde artist
