Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively blocked at the pinnacle of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi travels to a luxurious resort, but a sorry crowd gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—all pleading with him to return to the show. In order to escape their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams about his childhood.
