Overview
La Patinoire is about a film director who is shooting a highly symbolic film called 'Dolores' at an ice rink.

His actors all have inflated egos, his film crew is made up of fools, and there is a politician on his back. But he must finish the film, no matter what, in time for the Venice Film Festival.
