Bianca is a spirited girl of just thirteen. She’s searching for solid ground in a place where she feels unseen - by her mother, all whose love flows to her little brother and his heart condition, and her father and his new girlfriend, who find her out-of-control. Everything shifts when her favorite famed actress, Billie King, suddenly appears in their living room. Over the course of a scorching summer day filled with overwhelming emotions, Bianca’s vivid imagination and jumble of thoughts rise to the surface. She realises that not everything is what she thought and tries to find her way back to her mother. Based on Bart Moeyaert’s novel, the film was presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
