The substance [videorecording] / MUBI presents ; a Working Title production ; in association with Blacksmith ; written and directed by Coralie Fargeat ; produced by Coralie Fargeat, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner.
Elisabeth Sparkle is a former Hollywood actress turned fitness TV show guru whose show was canceled by network executive Harvey due to her aging appearance. Desperate to regain her youth, Elisabeth encounters a miracle drug that promises to make her look younger. The only catch is that her body needs to alternate--one week as Sue (her twenty-something incarnation), and one week as Elisabeth (her regular body)--or else it could have disastrous effects.
