In a hotel, Sami, a young and famous actor, undergoes a casting audition that doesn't go as planned. Disturbed, he insists on giving it another try later that evening. He settles into a hotel bungalow to rehearse, but nothing allows him to concentrate: an elderly couple celebrating their wedding anniversary, a chambermaid who doesn't recognize him, and a young person who snatched his role. Between the fear of failure and the fear of aging, an infernal spiral takes hold.
