Maria Enders (Binoche) is an internationally famous movie and stage star plagued by the specter of [[WhiteDwarfStarlet white dwarf-dom]]), who received her big break starring as the young Sigrid in the play ''[[ShowWithinAShow Maloja Snake]]'' by Wilhelm Melchior. The play concerns a heartless young girl ("Sigrid") who seduces a vulnerable older woman ("Helena") and eventually drives her to suicide. Following the suicide of Melchior, Maria joins a revival of ''Maloja Snake'', this time playing the role of the older Helena, and cast as Sigrid is the Lindsay-Lohan-esque tabloid-fodder extraordinaire Jo-Ann Ellis (Moretz).

-->'''Maria''': You leave without looking at me, as if I didn’t exist, … the audience follows you out, but instantly forgets about her, so…
-->'''Jo-Ann''': [''smiling''] So...so what? No one really gives a fuck about Helena at that point, do you think? I’m sorry, but I mean it’s pretty clear to me this poor woman’s all washed up. [''Beat''] I mean your character, right, not you.


Added DiffLines:

* SkinnyDipping: In one scene, Maria and Valentine hike to the edge of a lake and then strip off and have a swim, although only Maria strips off completely. This was partly because it was thought that Valentine, being a younger American, would be more inhibited than the European Maria about taking her clothes off, but it also demonstrates how Maria is coming to terms with her older body.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Valentine simply vanishes and is forgotten about, if she ever really existed in the first place, but it's suggested that Maria has at last accepted what Valentine's being trying to tell her all along: that she herself has got older and can't cling onto her youth anymore. The final shot of the film has her sitting onstage, smoking, waiting for the play to start, looking calm and at peace.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Maria asks Jo-Ann to play a moment in the play the way she played it herself, when she was young, to emphasise Helena's distress. Jo-Ann refuses, on the grounds that everyone gets that Helena is distressed and it's time to move on. This is the moment when Maria finally realises the dynamic of the play she's in: she concedes that Jo-Ann's right, and she herself is "lost in my memories".



* StealthHiBye: All done in one shot. Marie and Valentine are seen descending a slope into a shallow ravine, and they disappear from sight behind the ridge, which is closer to the camera. A moment later, Marie comes up the near side of the ravine, but Valentine is never seen again, and it's never explained where she went.

At one point, a scene begins with Maria and Valentine apparently having a tense argument about their own work arrangements, and only a few moments in does it become clear that they are in fact rehearsing a scene from the play.
