Eleanor wants to change her life. She needs to. It's evident in her bank balance, haircut and love life.

Followed by a ferocious documentary film crew, she aims to capture the story of her attempted life change, to make sense of it, and emerge as a new person, a new character.

Her mission gets somewhat messy when a Turkish playboy, an estate agent with motherly guilt and an old friend from University crash into her new life, and the film depicting it, messing both of them up.

A story about persona and identity, life in a big city and individualism, the film examines relationship between one’s character, and the 'character' one portrays, playing with the inevitable tension between life and storytelling.
