Spellbound in a fevered haze of devotion, middle-class student Bona forsakes her family and future to follow Gardo, a vain and womanizing movie actor. Bona’s infatuation for Gardo, a glorified extra who lives in a shack, curdles into servitude as she becomes his obedient maid and surrogate mother, setting the stage for a crescendo of heartbreak and reckoning.
