The film begins with a stylistic visual of an old needle record player. Indistinguishable filtered voices play over it. Eventually the scene fades into what appears to be a dimly lit hotel hall, where a man and a woman, both of who's faces are blurred beyond any recognition, enter a hotel room. They speak Polish. The man asks the woman to undress, which she does reluctantly. Presumably, she is a prostitute. Next, we are in another hotel room, where a raven-haired woman, known as the "lost girl", is crying, subdued but uncontrollably, while watching a television. On the television is an eerie sitcom about a family of rabbit-people in a small room who speak in terse, seemingly meaningless, sentences, that are occasionally followed by a non sequitur laugh-track. The female rabbit talks about a "secret" that apparently the male rabbit knows about. A knock at the door transpires, and the male rabbit goes to answer it, but the knocker is not revealed. He walks out through the door and it closes behind him. We then fade into a lavish golden room where a bald man sits on a couch. Another gruffy-looking Polish man, who will later be referenced as "The Phantom," stands and talks to him. They juggle variations of the phrase "Do you understand?" between each other and other sentences of insofar, unknown worth. Next, we cut to an old woman with bulging eyes, who we will learn speaks in a thick Transylvanian accent (Grace Zabriskie), walking down a suburban neighborhood, looking dizzied. She steps onto the porch of a high-class home and a butler answers. The home is that of Nikki Grace (Laura Dern), and the old woman is let in, claiming she is a new neighbor and wishes to greet her new friends. She says she heard Nikki got a new part. Nikki tells her it isn't for certain, but the woman insists it is. She then talks about a boy who opened a door and saw the end of a world, and a girl who was in an alley behind a marketplace and remembered something. Nikki is unsure what the woman is talking about. The woman then asks if there's a murder in the movie Nikki auditioned for. Nikki says no. The woman insists there is a "brutal fucking murder" in her film. She continues by talking about the mixing up of time, yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows; and remarks that she may think its after midnight when in fact it is 9:45 (a hint at Nikki's time of death). She then points to the couch across from her and says that tomorrow Nikki will be right there.
From here, the movie "starts", when Nikki and her friends, sitting on the aforementioned couch get the news that Nikki has gotten a part in the film...
