Description

A young PhD student's meticulous research uncovers a groundbreaking discovery: that a 17th-century artist is believed to be a woman. This revelation sets off a chain of events as she becomes increasingly obsessed with proving her thesis, but her pursuit of truth leads to a devastating mistake. As the student's world begins to unravel, she finds herself torn between intellectual integrity and denial. A thought-provoking exploration of academic ambition and its consequences unfolds in this poignant and humorous portrayal of a life spiraling out of control. A gripping examination of the complexities of discovery and the human cost of obsession.
