Short Synopsis: Logline - A young introspective French ballerina, living in New York and lost in the haze of her unfulfilled dreams, is thrust into a surreal journey where the boundaries of time and self begin to unravel. Starring Juliet Doherty (John Wick: Ballerina, The Red Shoes: The Next Step)

Synopsis - Stay Gold follows Juliette, a young French ballerina living in New York, lost in the haze of unfulfilled dreams and disillusioned with her present. Struggling to reconcile with the passage of time, she is consumed by quiet suffering, unsure if life will ever get better.

After an emotional collapse triggered by missing her bus to work, Juliette is transported to a surreal, black-and-white beach where she meets a mysterious figure—her 83-year-old self. In a haunting, cathartic dance, the two confront the unresolved wounds of her past.

As memories of her childhood resurface, Juliette embarks on a journey to find peace, hoping to release the parts of herself that are destructive or hard to accept. Along the way, she faces her inner child in a powerful moment of emotional reconciliation.

Through this surreal journey, she must learn to embrace the uncertainty of the future and the fleeting nature of time.

The film culminates with a voiceover from her elderly self in her final days, reflecting on the wisdom gained from a lifetime of lessons.
