Introduction

Lady Isabella longs to be in the spotlight and local talent show ‘Stately Stars’ offers her the break she’s long desired. Despite revelling in the camera’s presence on her grand estate, pressures run high and things eventually take a surreal turn when she starts to lose her sense of self. Abrahams’ debut, which features a standout performance by Fleabag’s Clifford, cleverly blends satirical humour with magical realism, exploring our deep need for human connection and to be seen.
