Overview
On a film set, Kaja, a young actress, refuses to deliver her lines to her partner who is holding her at gunpoint. Like the character she is playing, Kaja is convinced that she will die at the end of the take. But Anna, the director, Marc, the producer, and Joseph, her partner, are determined to shoot the scene despite Kaja’s pleas.
