THE WEDDING DAY

Kleo, a struggling actress nearing thirty, feels stuck in minor roles and a fading bohemian life with her musician partner, Julijs. When a famous director offers her the lead in Blood Wedding, art and life begin to blur. As rehearsals progress, Kleo is drawn to the director, but his manipulative nature surfaces. With the premiere looming, Kleo must choose between her past and a chance to finally shine—even if it means losing everything else.
