Bessem (Mehedi Labidi) doesn't know what his film is about. Is it strictly observational or vérité style? Ani (Armina LaManna) isn't that interested to help him find out, but she needs a job.
But as Bessem's interest in her grows and supersedes the film, Ani finds herself moving from documentary interviewer to subject, as he experiments with his work and with her.
As the film struggles to find its form, and the pair struggle to organize their relationship, Ani cooperates by performing multiple identities, threatening to fragment Bessem's work further. Will the film recover?
