- A widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, and decides that she must have one of her own.
- A white Hungarian director rehearses a play with five young Roma actors. His play tells their real-life stories of abuse, drug addiction, and crime. However, instead of representing the truth of their experiences, it only capitalizes on their pain and exploits them. The actors quit the play, only to find that their white director has already sold the show to Berlin's biggest theatre and the premiere is looming. Their rehearsals turn into a surreal exploration of racism and white guilt, blurring the lines between fiction and reality - and the play and the film itself. The film features an all-Roma creative team and is based on an actual play written by them about their real-life stories, presented in Deutsches Theater, Berlin. It asks the question of whether left-wing white intellectuals trying to help people of color actually end up helping to perpetuate systemic racism. Can the artistic representation of Romas, the biggest ethnic minority of Europe, ever be done without falling back on racist stereotypes?
- It is 1951, and Lucy Sziráky is a pretty, ambitious operetta actress. Her blossoming career has been thwarted by deportation. Because of her ex-husband's count rank, she has to leave the capital. For her, the adjustment to her forced village life is doubly difficult: she is far from her true livelihood, the theater, and must also contend with the resentment of her fellow aristocrats, who see her as an interloper. But Lucy is a real actress and a real no. Soon she finds the right voice for the displaced people and the men who admire her: the village party secretary, the local police captain, but she soon gets fed up.
