Vikar (James Franco), an architecture student inspired by the few films he has seen, rides the bus into Hollywood. Vikar is almost autistic (later, his friend “Viking Man” (Seth Rogan) dubs him a 'cineautistic') in his interactions with the world, and is deeply affected by his childhood with his religiously oppressive father. With a tattoo of Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor as they appear in A Place in the Sun (a film that plays an important role in the plot) on his shaved head, Vikar makes an impression on the beautiful actress Soledad (Megan Fox), to the dismay of Hollywood producer Rondell (Will Ferrell). Soon breaking into film as a designer and eventually a film editor, Vikar begins a dreamlike journey into the world of films that eventually ends in tragedy and almost horrific discovery.
