What happens

Aqua and the director who once put a child on camera with Ai pitch a feature about her life, aimed at a man who is still working in the business. Casting turns into a fight over who is allowed to play her; Ruby takes the role and has to act a mother she has been trying not to look at. People who lived that story, including the one the film is meant to trap, find their way onto the production.
