The film, which was shot in 1968, takes place in Central Park in New York City and follows a documentary entitled "Over the Cliff", one supposedly directed by Greaves himself and focusing on different pairs of actors who prepare to audition for a dramatic piece. What makes the film complicated are the three sets of camera crews Greaves employs to document this audition process. The first is told to film the actors in an effort to document the audition process. The second is told to document the first film crew. The third is told to document the actors, the remaining two crews, and any other passers-by or spectators who happen to fit into "Over the Cliff"'s overarching theme of "sexuality".
