With a young cast depending on him, al Rhamoun Font charts the director's compulsion to blur the lines of trust so he can get the film he wants. But at what cost? Dealing with old themes of sexual exploitation, the male gaze, and the enormity of the director's ego in a fresh way, the film charts the descent of rehearsals for a production of Othello into a battle of race and gender relationships. Gripping and provocative, this film is an unforgettable exploration of sexism and racism for modern times.
