A layered, self-reflexive meditation on cinema and human connection that blurs the boundary between performance and reality through a deceptively simple casting story.

When the actor in a scene for his film Life And Nothing More… has to quit, a film director casts another man for the part. However, complications arise since the man and the woman who was cast for the scene know each other.
