“Eventually stars burn out.”

Drama

Driven by an intense need for fame and validation, members of a dysfunctional Hollywood family chase celebrity, one another, and the relentless ghosts of their pasts. Their fragile ecosystem is disrupted by the arrival of Agatha, the scarred and estranged pyromaniac daughter.

VIBE

This film is a chilling, darkly comedic descent into Hollywood's toxic underbelly. It feels unsettling and decadent, a cynical exploration of fame's corrosive power and inherited trauma. The atmosphere is thick with psychological unease, as characters navigate a world where self-destruction is just another form of performance.
