This film combines black-and-white with color photography to tell the story of an ambitious advertising executive. Engaged to the daughter of an aging baron, the man wishes to renovate the baron's crumbling castle into a holiday getaway gathering for the social elite. In his zeal to seal the deal, he manages to alienate his friends, lose his fiancee to a more clear-thinking man, and end up with nothing for his efforts in this allegorical and symbolic feature.
