The story takes place in a dark and sparsely populated theater. The screenwriter Thomas (Mathieu Amalric) is looking for a suitable heroine for his adapted play "Venus in Fur". Thomas was disappointed with several actors who were interviewed one after another. They were completely different from the perfect goddess image in his mind. The interview ended with nothing. Just as Thomas was about to leave, a down-and-out girl who was soaked like a drowned chicken broke into the theater. The girl's name is Wanda (Emmanuelle Seigner). Coincidentally, she has the same name as the heroine in Thomas's script, but Wanda's rude behavior and shallow knowledge make Thomas secretly deny her in his heart. To Thomas' surprise, Wanda not only has all the scripts, but also prepared her own costumes. At Wanda's repeated insistence, Thomas agreed to her request to audition and personally acted with her. Just like that, in the pouring rain, a wonderful show about men and women, command and obedience began.
