''[[The Limits Of Control]]'' is a movie by Jim Jarmusch released in 2009.
A [[The Nameless|man without a name]] is given a mysterious assignment in an airport. He takes a plane to Madrid, goes to a high-rise flat, waits, goes to a café, orders two espressos in separate cups. He goes to a museum and stares at a painting of a violin. The next day at the café, a man with a violin case comes and asks him if he speaks Spanish. They exchange matchboxes. Inside the matchbox are instructions that he memorizes and then eats. He goes to the museum and stares at the painting of a nude woman.
Back at the flat, a naked girl with glasses waits for him. She asks if he likes her ass and suggests they have sex. He says, "Never while I'm working". The next day, at the café, a woman with a cowboy hat and a white-haired wig comes up and asks him if he speaks Spanish. They exchange matchboxes. She tells him, "The best films are like dreams we're never sure we really had." He gives the matchbox to the naked girl; it contains diamonds, which, we are reminded, are a girl's best
He takes the train to Sevilla. A Japanese woman asks him whether he speaks Spanish. They exchange matchboxes. Instructions, etc. He goes to a hotel room and waits.
