Movie Synopsis

Once-famous stage director Owen, struggling with a decade of creative drought and a crumbling marriage, decides to reclaim his dignity by writing and starring in a new play.

During auditions, he meets Hanna, a novice whose unique presence sparks a deep connection. As they enter each other’s lives, the production descends into chaos: an ambitious young boss pressures him, his former partner Melinda forces her way into the lead role, and his wife Tracy drifts toward an affair. Spiraling into madness, Owen blurs the line between the stage and reality.

Despite the turmoil, he fights to keep Hanna in the spotlight—only to face an irreversible catastrophe on opening night.
