Young woman gets the chance to play the leading role in a movie that reflects her own life story. But where does the made-up story start and reality end?
A young woman is given the chance to come to terms with some tough situations in her life by enacting them. Leyla (26) becomes the protagonist in a drama film that is based on her own life story. For the project, the director surrounds her with professional actors. The team jointly explores how people paint a certain picture of their lives. Meanwhile, the film raises the question how drama, as a genre, can help us learn to better understand ourselves and the world around us.
