Brief synopsis

Ela, a young actress, gets a role with the well-known theatre director Franz Kramer. The production is a great opportunity for Ela, but also comes with pressure. Kramer constantly oversteps Elas boundaries and the situation worsens when Kramer sexually harasses her. Ela struggles to reconstruct her role as a self-confident character—and realizes that to do so she has to take the same steps of self-empowerment in her real life.
