A young filmmaker in 1960s Paris juggles directing a cheesy sci-fi debacle, directing his own personal art film, coping with his crumbling relationship with his girlfriend, and a new-found infatuation with the sci-fi film's starlet.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roman Coppola is Francis Ford Coppola's son and Sofia's brother—this is his only feature film, made after years of music videos for The Strokes and Daft Punk.
The 'Codename: Dragonfly' sequences lovingly parody 1968's 'Barbarella' and the Italian spy-fi films Roger Corman distributed, complete with that unmistakable Corman aesthetic.
