源起会议之国的小型讲座，一群伟人聚在一起，开了一个伟大的讨论会，伟大的主题是:“什么是诗意”。开场一个象征镜头，影机先是追踪着火车，开进小城，再走到大街小巷，然后停靠酒店，走进局促的会议室。接着，一批有头有脸的作家杀入镜头，阿城、王朔、马原、方方、余华、棉棉，从阿城的“诗意”考古开始，讲到“有钱就有诗意”。各抒己见的过程中，大家谈得性起，渐将诗意按压在自我之下。镜头有时溜出来，看另一种风景。一旁的会议策划人，在酒店偶遇旧爱，更能体味点点诗意。演员王彤和王志文，就演着也许由作家虚构的故事，他们的存在，比作家更真实。吕乐一个革命式的举动:拆走纪录片与剧情片框框，将两者放在同一议题与空间自由对话。
