The story

Writer Ben chaperones his daughter Matilda to a movie set where she is co-starring in a period drama with a famous actress, Alicia, who was recently caught in a scandal regarding a leaked sex tape. Alicia's kind and maternal nature brings her closer to Matilda and Ben, but at the expense of Ben's wife, Anette, who is perpetually left at home with a newborn second child, Lucas. Anette and Ben's relationship has considerably cooled over the years, and she resents him for pressuring her to quit her job so he could move their family to the countryside, as well as having left her alone for 8 months while he went on a writer's retreat.
