Written and directed by feminist author Iris Brey, this French miniseries is a refreshing narrative about unexpected connections, intimate relationships, and sexual fluidity.

Stunt double Anna (Alma Jodorowsky, Blue Is the Warmest Colour) is intrigued by her latest assignment as a stand-in for charismatic star Eve (Jehnny Beth, Anatomy of a Fall). Anna has been content in her long-term relationship with Natan, who is the cinematographer on set. As desire grows between Anna and Eve, leading to a secret rendezvous in the dressing room and visits to the countryside, their relationship becomes harder and harder to keep hidden. The pressure of finishing the film becomes paramount and Anna must make some difficult choices to avoid hurting the people she loves.
