About this film+

A pop idol leaves her music career to become an actress, but she soon loses her grip on reality as a stalker follows her. The film blurs the lines between her real life, her acting roles, and her terrifying dreams. It features sharp neon lights and cold, clinical blues that reflect her growing mental distress.
