Sinédoque, Nova Iorque
24/10/2008
Caden Cotard, encenador teatral, está a preparar uma nova peça. A sua vida, nos subúrbios de Nova Iorque, está bastante desinteressante. A sua mulher, Adele deixou-o para prosseguir o seu trabalho como pintora em Berlim, levando consigo a filha pequena de ambos, Olive. A sua terapeuta, Madeleine Gravis, está mais interessada no seu best-seller do que em lhe prestar apoio efectivo. A nova relação com a cândida Hazel acabou por terminar prematuramente. E uma misteriosa doença está a incapacitá-lo de dia para dia. Preocupado com a transitoriedade da sua vida, abandona a sua casa e reúne o elenco num armazém em Nova Iorque. Na esperança de criar um trabalho de honestidade extrema, dá instruções a cada um dos elementos do elenco para que construa a sua vida como uma crítica crescente à cidade.
