Experiencing Interruptions?

Nina

Nina is a short film about a university drama student who stands up to her acting professor when he crosses the line. When Nina is offered the lead role in a play immediately after transferring to a new university, her female peers are dismayed. She soon realizes that her professors are creating a toxic culture where women are pitted against each other to compete for roles. When she refuses to rehearse a scene topless, she is replaced, becoming a target for low marks and sexist insults from her professors. The ending arrives abruptly, with Nina being replaced by a new actress, who is immediately subjected to similar treatment.
