A 25-year-old aspiring actress, Maryska, struggles to land a significant role in film or theater. For now, she is limited to minor characters and ensemble parts. While working in a theater, she tirelessly attends various auditions, but her lack of experience and unique charisma keep her from succeeding. 

One day, Maryska learns she has been cast in a new production. However, during the script reading, she discovers her character has only one line. Despite this, Maryska refuses to lose hope. She dedicates herself wholeheartedly to developing her role, pouring all her talent and effort into the process. Maryska attempts to catch the director's attention and discuss her character's arc but fails to make an impression.

Finally, the premiere night arrives. Maryska stands backstage, determined to perform the role she has crafted on her own terms. During the show, she changes the course of the play to highlight her character's dramatic depth and significance, making the role unforgettable.

We each had our own childhood fantasies. So let's go back to the times when lava flowed between furniture and we were superheroes!

The film is in the short film almanac Ukrainian New Wave: Runaway.
