No one is sure if it’s part of the film’s promotional stunt or a real murder. Agnès, by pure accident, knocks the director unconscious

It’s not a “long story” in the literary sense (like a novel), but rather a parody of crime thrillers and film industry tropes. However, I can tell you the as a long, detailed narrative.
