Roger Waters wrote "Cymbaline" after waking from one particularly disturbing dream. Pink Floyd themselves describe this song as being a nightmare. The verses are about paranoia and the pressure in society, about fame, loneliness, misunderstanding and... supposedly about drugs.
By all means, great song and deep retro-timeless movie (cult classic)!
Movie Précis:
A young German student, Stefan (Klaus Grünberg), is taking a break from his university studies. He hitchhikes to Paris for some freedom. He says he wants to be warm for a change, to have a chance to see the Sun. While at a party in Paris, Stefan meets a free-spirited American girl named Estelle (Mimsy Farmer). He is instantly drawn to Estelle, and pursues her. He will even eventually follow her to the island of Ibiza. In Ibiza they slowly begin a relationship. Estelle introduces Stefan to many pleasures and freedoms, including taking drugs. Ultimately he will even try heroin, to which he eventually becomes addicted.
The results are tragic.
