Although Maja has devoted all her life to acting, she does not believe in herself or what she is capable of. She thinks that she’s part of the majority of students who will never find a job after acting school. That’s why she plans to enrol on Marketing and Management after graduation. Everything changes when a new director crosses her path. The charismatic man’s job is to guide his students to obtaining their degree. Him offering Maja the main part of Lady Macbeth not only restores her love for acting but also her self-confidence. However, it will soon turn out that Maja’s main objective will not be her graduation performance but exposing the director’s true nature.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.
