Stela is 36 years old, a unsuccessful writer, and repeatedly unemployed. The only thing that gives her life any sense of direction is her obsession with an aging Serbian pop star. Hoping to get closer to her idol, she counts on a friend. She is a notorious mistress of the idol, but also more or less successful in her sex toy and lubricant business. When Stella finally meets the sleazy pop star, the world doesn’t go up in smoke – at most, a house of cards collapses.

Ivana Mladenovic
Ivana Mladenovic (born 1984) is from Serbia, but has lived and worked in Romania for over twenty years, having moved there to study film directing in Bucharest. In 2012 her first documentary film releases. The stories she tells straddle the fine line between reality and autofiction. Once one leaves behind the search for the actual border, emotional and thematic truths are revealed that can be even more real than reality itself.
