Tereza is an award-winning actress and musician. However, she has another life besides her career. A life full of anxiety and... hunger. And it's not the "noble" hunger of artistic renunciation. Teresa is hungry because she suffers from an eating disorder (ED). This disease is not just an extreme form of anorexia or bulimia, and it does not exclusively affect teenage girls. As a co-organiser and participant, Tereza gets involved in a therapeutic meeting of people with EDs. "A workshop for the hungry", laughs Tereza ironically. At Tereza's invitation, male and female participants with various traumas, but also with valuable experience in fighting the disease, descend on a remote location in the middle of nature. But as the moment of epiphany approaches, Tereza's "second, perfect me" begins to realise her danger and launches a counterattack...
