After getting married, she gave up acting. Then, after getting divorced, she took it up again and starred in an independent film. Now, the film is about to be released and she is giving interviews to support it. Having reached middle age, she is presenting her face to the world as an actor for the first time in a long while. She does three interviews at 30-minute intervals, and tries to answer each question as best as she can. Later that day, her acting coach asks her to re-enact the interviews she did earlier. But every time she reaches the crucial parts, for some reason she is unable to remember a thing. She is tired and wants to go home. Her daughter is waiting. Presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
