A director shoots a documentary about all kinds of actresses: stars, drama queens, unknowns, has-beens… At first distant, she is quickly pulled in by those fragile but manipulative women, and ends up falling in love with one of them. Maïwenn continues to blur the line between reality and fiction in this send-up of the icons of cinema.
