Actors Charlotte Gainsbourg, also in The Passengers of the Night (SWIFF'23), Béatrice Dalle, and Australia’s Abbey Lee, play fictional versions of themselves making a film about witches, and discussing their craft, but when technical problems occur, psychotic outbreaks on set gradually see the film spiral into stroboscopic hysteria.

Premiering at Cannes, enfant terrible Gaspar Noé (Vortex, SWIFF’22, Irreversible SWIFF’20, Climax, SWIFF’19), once again employs the unique split screen perspective to offer a chaotic, passionate and hilarious piece on the art of filmmaking and on-set hysterics.

“Wry comedy about filmmaking’s collaborative nature… a naughty look at what can happen when branded content flies off the rails… art thrives on chaos, and Noé wouldn’t have it any other way” - IndieWire
