SYNOPSIS:
Drake is in over his head. On the set of a bloated feature film in India, the former music video director is spiraling, wondering if he has the touch to pull off a complicated colonial drama. Mira, an English born Indian actress, gets tangled in Drake’s clusterfuck of identity politics and ambition. Asked to chop off her long hair after script rewrites, Mira is left to grapple with what honesty on camera really means, and why it even matters.
