The film is at first a documentary about the early days of French television. The various techniques of the new medium are explained through the filming of a flamenco show. The second part is an exercise in futurology. Basing himself on René Barjavel's revolutionary ideas, Raymond-Millet imagines all the ways television might be used in the days to come. His finds foreshadow the videophone, the cell phone, the Internet, electronic surveillance as well as virtual images. The whole thing is presented in a humorous unpretentious way.
