A director wants to make a documentary about actresses, all actresses: the popular ones, the unknown ones, the intellectuals, the comedians, the forgotten ones... Filming everything, with or without their consent, the director gets caught up in the game and lets herself be devoured by these women, who are as fragile as they are manipulative.

VIBE

A charmingly meta exploration of love and identity through the lens of filmmaking. It feels like a thoughtful, witty conversation about art and connection, wrapped in a cozy indie package.
