Nikki is an actress whom director Kingsley Stewart proposes to make the protagonist of his next film, a remake of the disastrous “On High Blue Tomorrow.” The original was canceled when the main couple was murdered. The filming absorbs Nikki in such a way that the boundary between the character and herself fades, giving rise to a remake even more problematic than the previous one. (sensacine)
