Le Rêve de Jean plot

This documentary is about the creation of Jean Tinguely's famous work of art 'Le Cyclop'; A 22 meter silver head among four hundreds of years old oaks in the forests of Milly-la-Forêt in northern France. The Cyclops' face (designed by Niki de Saint Phalle) is covered with thousands of shards of glittering mirror glass. Inside the head moves a gigantic squeaky mechanism, made by Jean Tinquely. Large gold-colored balls roll over an open tube of metal wire, like oranges in a large press machine.
