Film Portrays Actor's Struggle With Alcohol Addiction

A new film centers on a young actor who faces challenges from alcohol use while employed in a Paris theater company. The character works as an assistant stage manager and is later assigned to a touring schools production. Her performances on stage receive positive attention, but her attendance and preparation suffer from nightly partying and morning hangovers.

She loses her position after repeated late arrivals and receives a group directive to seek assistance. A new relationship with a set designer encounters strain from the same pattern of behavior. The character also experiences anxiety and depression. Her pregnant sister receives a cancer diagnosis that adds further pressure to the situation.

A doctor questions the character's reported daily wine consumption after observing her appearance. The character later acknowledges liver damage and decides to stop drinking without attending organized support meetings. The film presents this decision as relatively straightforward, though some scenes depict fear and emotional difficulty during the process.
