The director's obsession with the actress who plays the sexy secret agent Dragonfly has clouded his judgment and the film has no ending.

She said it was important.

Antonio, come on, eh?

Hi, it's Paul.

You got to come here quickly.

Oh, my God!

Taxi!

Come look.

They were just born.

I like to document

all the things of my life.

I found you.

I was cold.

Thank you very much.

All right.

And...

And action.

But how?

You're me.

Quickly, we're in danger.

Nice try, Dragonfly.

Go, go!

My father built

the Dragonfly robot...

for the most dangerous

missions.

He modeled her on me...

her looks and

her lifelike qualities.

But the Corporation

programmed her...

so that

she couldn't betray them.

She wanted to help you,

but she couldn't.

That's why I tried to help.

I knew the revolution

needed this weapon...

so I took it to give to you.

I did it to help you,

to help the cause.

I believe in this revolution...

and I believe in you.

We were in love.

We are identical

in all respects.

In all respects?

In all respects.

All I really did was stitch

together things from my life.

Things that made

an impression on me.

Just put a little piece

of myself out there...

try to organize it,

take a look at it...

make some connections,

some sense of things.

I think that's

all the time we have.

Thanks a lot to Paul.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

I enjoyed what you had to say.

Thank you very much.

By the way,

do you know Felix DeMarco?

Do you think you could pass

this script on to him for me?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

My dog knocked over the tripod,

and the camera kept running...

so I kept it all in the film.

...things around you...

as if that would bring

some understanding?

I just want to capture

what's real and honest.

And what if it's boring?

Maybe Marlene was right...

but each one of these images

brings up a feeling or a memory.

I can smell Marlene when

I see this shot of the soap.

I found her drivers license...

and I tried to reach her

by calling her mother...

and Marlene answered.

When she heard my voice,

she hung up.

I thought that my film

was going to be about...

Iooking at

all the pieces of myself...

but, Marlene...

I got you in pieces, too.

So this is the end...

or is it the start?

Of what?
