The bored and boring Greg Wittle has visions of another world. These visions cause him to loose his job. When he tries to drown his misery in the local pub, Wittle is approached by Isabel (Salma Hayek) who appears to know a lot about him.
A bit like in the first Matrix film, Wittle learns that the world that he is used to is not the real world, and Isabel teaches him to manipulate his surroundings and eventually, they go to the actual ‘real world’.
Needless to say, the film plays with the question which world actually is the real one. With no real surprises the idea is tossed back and forth and a bit of a tragic romance story unfolds.
