Once one of the most beloved film stars in the world, Aymeline now avoids the spotlight; recovering from the trauma of an abusive relationship and spending her time locked in a mansion in the hills of the Côte d'Azur with her cat. When her obsessive agent, Franco, abruptly shows up, he warns her of her impending irrelevance-- resulting in heartbreak, horror and mayhem.

Speaking about the project director Noah Lee says, "Aymeline. She’s the only human being I’ve ever met who’s inspired me to write something based not just on myself or one of my favorite movie character obsessions. She has a face that tells 50 stories at once // loving yet spine-chilling…"

"Usually, I’m pretty controlling with my process but thank god I was at the mercy of a collaboration by Aymeline just BEING Aymeline — I didn’t write this role FOR her I wrote it BECAUSE of her."

"Last year I was watching a lot of celeb news channels and Antonioni movies on a shitty tv hotel to go to sleep— so it all kinda created this twisted character of a film. And for me, there’s nothing I romanticized as a kid more than a sad movie star."

"After a few long phone calls with Aymeline, the film kinda wrote itself and the timing just seemed right. I was like “I’m not doing much, you’re not doing much, let’s make a film!”

"For the first part of the shoot I took over everyone's summer holiday; we had an Aaton, a shit load of 35mm Fuji film and a house. Half of the film was spent on Aymeline eating cereal and smoking marijuana cigarettes— the other half, wasted on all of us looking for a cat named Leo But we were out of film, done, sick of it…"

"Yet luckily, the character Aymeline and I had created clung to us like a disease. After much debate, we started prepping for round II. For me, it's not about the mythological bullshit, the Orson Welles with a bullhorn kinda dictatorial bit (shoutout Orson the goat) but about being organized, calm and communicative even in times of disagreement. Then Denis Lavant signed on as Franco Fontane, and the magic really started flowing."

"A month later, we shot for five days in the hills of Cannes, in a bit of a Miyazaki rain storm. Every day was just another extremely collaborative process, even with the language barrier between myself and Denis, we just kinda communicated with each other through body movements and laughter. He’s got such an amazing voice, I wanted to hear him talk for hours!"

"A great line I heard when I was young: “there's nothing scarier than a bad actor” and luckily I was at the mercy of two legends. We had a small but incredible cast and crew, including two gods and great friends of mine— DP of the film, Joe Bird, and our incredible producer and actor Ryan Ben Yaiche !! So even though the film grew in scope and size — we got it all done and call me cheesy cheesy; I’ll forever be in debt to everyone that was a part of Aymeline."
