Set in 1921, somewhere in Eastern Europe. The German film director F. W. Murnau is filming Nosferatu. A perfectionist and pioneering stylist, the young director has cast Max Schreck in the main role of the terrifying Count Orlock. Repeatedly disconcerted and frightened by the attitudes and methods of this actor, the crew members, led by the brilliant artist, try to play along to Schreck’s strange pranks.
