The original version, titled "Out 1: Noli Me Tangere," runs approximately 13 hours and is divided into eight episodes, each lasting between 90 to 100 minutes. Due to its considerable length, Rivette also created a condensed version known as "Out 1: Spectre," which has a runtime of about 4½ hours.

The film draws inspiration from Honoré de Balzac's "La Comédie humaine," particularly the "History of the Thirteen" collection. It intricately weaves multiple loosely connected characters and subplots, reflecting the complexity and interconnectivity found in Balzac's work. The narrative follows two main characters: Colin, portrayed by Jean-Pierre Léaud, a seemingly deaf-mute who suddenly begins to speak after receiving mysterious messages; and Frédérique, played by Juliet Berto, a con artist involved in petty scams. Their paths intersect with two theater troupes rehearsing classical Greek plays—"Seven Against Thebes" and "Prometheus Bound." As the story unfolds, connections between these groups and a secret society called "The Thirteen" emerge, leading to a complex exploration of conspiracy and human relationships
