A filmmaker brings together several of his favorite actresses for a project centered on women. This process leads to a narrative set in 1970s Rome, focusing on a prestigious costume shop run by two different sisters, Alberta and Gabriella. As the staff works on costumes for a major production, they navigate professional pressures alongside personal struggles involving family, finance, and domestic conflict. The story blends the lives of the actresses with their characters, exploring themes of sisterhood and competition within a female-dominated workspace.
