Sibyl, a jaded psychotherapist, returns to her first passion: writing. But her newest patient Margot, a troubled up-and-coming actress, proves to be a source of inspiration that is far too tempting. Fascinated almost to the point of obsession, Sibyl becomes more and more involved in Margot’s tumultuous life, reviving volatile memories that bring her face to face with her past.

VIBE

A tangled, intoxicating dive into the blurred lines between therapist and patient, artist and muse. It's a film that feels like a fever dream, exploring the messy, often destructive, nature of inspiration and the ghosts of the past.
