Vain, middle-aged actress Biwako is placed in witness protection while authorities investigate the brutal murder she witnessed. Under the watch of two dedicated cops, Biwako struggles to maintain her career, her public image, and her personal life as she prepares for her new role on the witness stand.
An aging actress finds her greatest performance isn't on a movie set, but while testifying to avoid a killer. This genre-bending ride balances the absurdity of vanity with the genuine tension of a life on the run.
