The story could be summarized as follows: Nora and Agnes Borg are the daughters of a great film director, Gustav Borg, with whom they maintain a distant relationship. Nora is a well-known stage actress and is single, while her sister Agnes is a historian who has managed to build a family. Their mother’s death becomes the starting point of the story, because from that moment their father reappears in their lives. Not only does he return suddenly and at a rather inopportune moment—in the painful context of mourning—but shortly afterward Gustav offers Nora the leading role in his next film, based precisely on her life. Nora refuses the part, offended by her father’s absence over so many years. The role is eventually offered to a young and extremely famous actress, Rachel Kemp—played by Elle Fanning—who gradually begins to embody Nora, attempting to study her like a method actress. Some time later, Nora decides to read the screenplay of the film, convinced by her sister who—while still showing a certain resistance—reads it and perceives something beautiful that their father has managed to capture and rescue from that father-daughters relationship. This is where the story takes on another rhythm, another dynamic that, for obvious reasons, we will not detail here, but that will redirect the course of the story of that film.
