The sudden death of her close friend Betty, after a long day on set, forces Sibel to confront the painful reality of a life filled with unfulfilled dreams. Desperate for change, she writes a predictable immigrant drama, hoping for success. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, she must face her deepest fears and fight against the very system that attempts to define her. This film is a raw exploration of reclaiming identity and finding one's voice amidst overwhelming odds.
