Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, he heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—each begging him to get on with the show. Retreating from their demands, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.
