When renowned actress Maria Enders (Binoche) is cast opposite a young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Moretz), tensions rise as she must come to terms with what it means to be an actress in a youth-obsessed industry.  As she prepares with her assistant (Stewart) for the most challenging role of her life, Maria must confront her personal demons in this captivating film.
