The Raw, Shocking Movie Of A Pop Singer Who Makes It Big!

A sharp, paranoid critique of celebrity manipulation and state control dressed as a pop-star drama, where a famous singer's awakening to his own puppetry becomes a meditation on autonomy and power.

Britain's biggest pop singer, Steven Shorter, receives unwavering adulation and possesses total control over his rabid fans, which includes nearly the entire population. Yet Shorter is not an autonomous performer -- he is little more than a puppet for the government, promoting whatever agenda they see fit. When a beautiful artist, Vanessa Ritchie, is commissioned to paint his portrait, she pushes Shorter to question his obedience to his manipulative handlers.
