Basiel (42) was once a promising actor, but now finds himself stuck as a B-list performer in a childish police series and directing youth theater. When his great love Katja leaves him, he spirals into an existential crisis and sets out to rediscover his artistic purpose.
During auditions for Little Red Riding Hood, he meets Elvis, a gifted and charismatic nineteen-year-old who becomes the object of his obsession. Their controversial relationship seems to reignite Basiel’s creativity and sense of self, until the film abruptly shifts perspective.
What first appears to be the story of a struggling man inspired by his young muse is retold through Elvis’s eyes, revealing a far more unsettling reality: a relationship marked by a vast age gap, unequal power dynamics, and dangers she is too young to fully recognize.
