The Public Woman

An aspiring young actress with little experience is offered a role in a film adaptation of Dostoyevsky's The Possessed. However, the director, a Czech immigrant living in Paris, gradually takes control of her personal life, blurring the boundaries between performance and reality. Soon, she becomes involved in a dangerous real-life deception, impersonating the deceased wife of another Czech expatriate. Unaware of the full consequences, she finds herself caught in the filmmaker's manipulative scheme to push the man toward committing a politically motivated assassination.
