About
In a brothel of illusion the customers take over real power during a revolution. Madame Irma (Shelley Winters) runs the 'house of illusion' where ordinary people play out their dreams. Outside, a real revolution is in progress. For the Police Chief (Peter Falk), the brothel is the rallying point from which he can suppress the revolution. Roger (Leonard Nimoy), leader of the revolution, seeks refuge in the brothel, where he poses as his opponent, the Chief of Police.
