From Hammer horror to the new underground film-makers, the documentary investigates the whole range of cinematic experimentation and development that changes the look of European cinema in the mid-70's. John Schlesinger discusses the course of his career in Europe and is film directing on the set of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", while Francois Truffaut, Jean - Pierre Melville, and the rarely-interviewed Robert Bresson talk about film making, and other directors' latest works. From the actor's point of view, Richard Burton, Alain Delon and Glenda Jackson are also interviewed and caught in action on the sets of their latest works. Each of the interviews is accompanied by clips from the actors' and directors' best know works.
