    On a film set there are two things missing, the film material and the director. So the actors and actresses as well as the crew try to make the best out of the situation.

When the material finally arrives all folks involved into the film find themselves in a weird situation. Jealousy, competition and despair are ruling. Nobody seems to be able to break through this atmosphere, so they all still try to make the best out of the situation, but this is probably not the way to finish the film.
