A group of actors meet in a studio to rehearse. A true work in progress, the film centres on the scenes to be shot. At times you are with the actors seated around a table, while the director gives them instructions ; at times in situ within a scene being played. Sometimes you are watching the actors in each others’ company or dealing with their daily hassles. Between lies and hopes, acting and reality – the lines blur, relationships are born or come undone and love appears where you least expect it.
Irma, a famous actress, has retreated to the seaside, far from the limelight. Valentina, a young girl she loves in secret, has gone with her. Each day, the two women go to the beach where they meet an eccentric painter who loves boys. A film about a time when things were hidden and the words to address them were never uttered.
