Craig Schwartz (Creator/JohnCusack), a struggling puppeteer in New York, gets a job as a filing clerk on the 7½th floor of the Mertin-Flemmer Building. One day, he finds a hole hidden behind a filing cabinet that leads into the head of Creator/JohnMalkovich, where you spend 15 minutes seeing life through his eyes before you fall into a ditch beside the New Jersey Turnpike. Craig and his coworker/crush Maxine (Creator/CatherineKeener) end up making a business out of it, and his wife Lotte (Creator/CameronDiaz) ends up finding out how much she likes being inside John's body. MindScrew ensues.
