Synopsis

Bachelorette finds a mysterious book titled "My Story" buried in her garden. As its pages begin writing her actions, she carries it to a city publisher, who turns her strange life into a bestseller and a stage musical. Bachelorette stars in the production, but the story keeps reproducing itself through smaller performances within the show. When the publisher rejects the endless reflections of their relationship, the book starts to erase itself. The nested worlds collapse, the city returns to nature, and Bachelorette is restored to her garden.
