Plot:
In this captivating narrative, we follow the story of a once-famous personality who's struggling to keep up with her ever-youthful competitors in the cutthroat world of entertainment. Desperate to reclaim lost ground, she turns to a mysterious and unregulated treatment that promises to restore her youthful looks and vitality. The drug, which is obtained from the black market, works by rapidly replicating her body's cells, resulting in a temporary transformation into an improved version of herself. As the days pass, the effects start to wear off, putting immense pressure on our protagonist to maintain her newfound fame and success before time runs out. This thought-provoking film explores themes of vanity, ambition, and the price we're willing to pay for fleeting moments in the spotlight, all against the backdrop of an illicit underworld.
