Synopsis
The elderly scientist Oscar Collins (Jack MacGowran) lives an overcontroled life. Once his carefully organised day ends at work, he goes home to his grey London flat. His only company is a pet praying mantis and his cleaning lady Mrs. Peurofoy (Irene Handl). All the monotony is about to change when a small hole in the wall projects an image of the next door flat onto a wall, an image of his neighbour, model Penny Lane (Jane Birkin). Oscar becomes obsessed by the image and the model's life. When the hole is blocked, he creates many more holes in his 'Wonderwall', so he can become part of the model's life and world...
