Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A director wants to make a documentary about actresses, all actresses: the popular ones, the unknown ones, the intellectuals, the comedians, the forgotten ones... Filming everything, with or without their consent, the director gets caught up in the game and lets herself be devoured by these women, who are as fragile as they are manipulative.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

Editor Laure Gardette shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
