Black Hole

A successful actress's career comes to a sudden stop when she reaches 40 and her agent tells her that she is now in the Black Hole of Age. Haunted by that comment, we follow her one afternoon as she spirals into the horrors and amusements of ageism. What is perception and what is imagination? How do people see her — if they see her at all?
