Sitting at a table, holding a script, Marguerite Duras and Gérard Depardieu read a dialogue, the story of a woman who addresses the truck driver that picked her up from the side of the road. Shots of a truck travelling the roads without a visible driver appear regularly. The truck? The possibility of communism. The film? “It would be a film. It is a film.” For the conditional tense and the present tense to swap, for an hypothesis and its effectuation to be presented as a single tangible event—that is without a doubt something unique in film history.

In this most talky and personal of films, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gerard Depardieu do an on-camera read-through of a movie script. Occasionally, the director comments about the characters or their motivations, and sometimes the actor does. That's all -- there is no action, there are no location shots, no one pretends to be anything else. The script itself tells about an encounter between a blank-slate of a woman hitchhiker, and a communist truck driver. As the reading progresses, Duras comments bitterly about the failed ideals of communism and the glorious revolution that will probably never happen.
