A cerebral, melancholic meditation on artistic creation and emotional recovery, where a young filmmaker processes trauma and manipulation through the act of making her graduation film.

In the aftermath of her tumultuous relationship with a charismatic and manipulative older man, Julie begins to untangle her fraught love for him in making her graduation film, sorting fact from his elaborately constructed fiction.
