A sweltering summer, a Renaissance palace. Three women exist in a carefree state of limbo, while an enigmatic system fulfills all their needs—providing food, entertainment, and tools for constant self-improvement. There is only one rule: they must not cross the wall surrounding the estate. Soon, however, cracks begin to appear in this idyllic picture.
The daily schedule, focused on wellness affirmations, begins to resemble enslavement, and beneath the smiles and cheerful facade, anger, rage, and a burning desire for freedom—suppressed for years—begin to surface.
The protagonists begin to communicate using their own code and secretly “practice dying,” desperately trying to devise an escape plan. Will these women, raised in a state of perpetual immaturity, be able to cross the boundaries set for them by the system?
The film had its world premiere at the SXSW Festival and was awarded the Szafirowymi Lwami at the Polish Feature Film Festival in Gdynia.
