She is known to shy away from the public spotlight, but her latest adventure into obscurity is shrouded in mysterious circumstances. 30 years later, the actor steps out of the shadows and reveals herself to Kate, a young film executive. She is finally ready to tell her story. However, when the pair confine in Elaine’s remote Cornish home to assist with the actor’s glorious comeback, other questions are raised and ruminated.
