The official synopsis reads:
Set during the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week, three women’s lives intersect: Maxine (Angelina Jolie), a filmmaker who discovers she has breast cancer and is drawn into an unexpected connection with a familiar collaborator (Louis Garrel); Ada (Anyier Anei), a fresh face in modeling, escaping a predetermined future back home in South Sudan; and Angèle (Ella Rumpf), a makeup artist working in the shadows of the catwalks.As their paths cross, the film reveals the quiet resilience beneath the surface of public performance and honours the unspoken solidarity shared among these women across professions, cultures, and continents.
