This film is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Luis Buñuel, the father of surrealist cinema, and surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. It depicts human dreams and the subconscious. The story is divided into two parts; in the first part, a melancholic young man (Luis Buñuel played by himself) sits under the moonlight, sharpening a razor. He smokes a cigarette while waiting for a young girl to appear. The young man caresses the girl's face with the razor and cuts open her eyeball, as dark clouds pass across the moon. The second part is set eight years later, where a young man in a bicycle dressed in a cloak resembling women's clothing collapses outside a woman's building. The woman comes down to take the box from his hands, and the man does not wake up again. Back inside, the woman sits in deep thought when another man knocks on the door, his palms covered in ants. As the man and woman study the ants, downstairs, a woman dressed as a man is playing with a severed hand, drawing the attention of passersby. Subsequently, the woman's breasts, a pumpkin, a monk, a piano, and tattered men and women all appear on screen, symbolizing a series of dreams.
