We witness a cell phone conversation between a post-studio artist and a job centre employee in which the artist struggles to explain and justify the expenses of her practice. The same script is performed in various contexts: in a hotel room, a fast fashion store, a rental car. The director’s voice occasionally intervenes, blurring the boundary between the cinematic scene and the real conditions of its production.
