The Congress

    Feature Film | 2011-2013 | Animation, Future | Belgium, France, Germany, Israel, Luxembourg, Poland, USA

    Brief synopsis

    Robin Wright, playing the role of herself, gets an offer from a major studio to sell her cinematic identity: she'll be numerically scanned and sampled so that her alias can be used with no restrictions in all kinds of Hollywood films - even the most commercial ones that she previously refused. In exchange she receives loads of money, but more importantly, the studio agrees to keep her digitalized character forever young - for all eternity - in all of their films. The contract is valid for 20 years.
