Recap

Even though Maja has devoted her entire life to acting, she does not believe in herself or her abilities. She believes that she is one of the many students who will not find a job after graduating from theatre school. Therefore, she plans to apply to study marketing and management after her graduation. Everything changes when a new director crosses paths with Maja. By giving Maja the role of Lady Macbeth, this charismatic director restores her love for acting and her self-confidence. However, it soon becomes clear that Maja’s main goal will not be the diploma performance, but exposing the director's true nature.
