lv Marta, once an emerging film director, is now in her 30s and given up on her film dreams. She spends her days working at a job she hates, taking care of her chronically ill cat, fighting with her stoner boyfriend and lying to friends that she will “soon” start working on her new script. While trying to handle her functional depression, Marta keeps dreaming about making films, drawn to the healing power of storytelling, but not having the courage to act on these dreams. Through the course of this dark comedy Marta learns there is an unavoidable question that at some point every filmmaker needs to answer: if you really want to direct films, can you first direct yourself out of depression?
