In 2017, Julia C. Kaiser receives a scholarship as a filmmaker. The only problem is that she can't work. Reasons for this include confusing experiences with the acting production during the shooting of her last film. In order to free herself from this crisis, she organizes a workshop at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media as part of the scholarship. Together with the acting students, she tries to find out in recurring and changing film scenes and acting constellations, as well as in personal conversations, when we play which role - and whether we ever fail to do so.
