At an elite drama school where suffering is currency, Anika is pushed to her limits by Natasha, a ruthless professor who insists true artistry demands the excavation of personal trauma. Meanwhile, Anika's boyfriend Nathan, a failed classical actor turned motion-capture performer, offers her an escape into the glossy, pain-free world of digital performance, where success is engineered and artistry is commodified. Caught between an industry that feeds on anguish and a future where technology strips art of its soul, Anika begins to unravel. Under these influences and the unblinking gaze of the internet, the line between reality and performance blur, awakening a darkness within her, one that could make her a star or erase her entirely.
