Regardless of whether or not we're willing to accept it, we're all getting older by the day. One moment, we're an eighteen-year-old with our entire life ahead of us, and the next, we're a forty-year-old with responsibilities. Getting old is a very serious fear that many people have around the world, as many refuse to accept it, and cling to a youth that has left them. This is one of the many complex issues discussed in Olivier Assayas' Clouds of Sils Maria.
At the peak of her internationally successful acting career, Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is asked by a highly acclaimed director to accept the part in the very same play that originally made her famous. At the early age of eighteen, she played Sigrid, a destructive youth that takes advantage of an older woman named Helena, which drives her to suicide. Now, she's being asked to play the part of Helena, while tabloid queen Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloe Grace Moritz) plays Sigrid. Retreating to a remote region of the Alps, she begins to rehearse with assistant Valentine (Kristen Stewart). Taking upon this role proves to be more destructive than ever imagined.
While Maria is traveling in order to attend a celebration of Wilhelm Melchior (Valery Bukreev), she hears news of his passing. This sends ripples throughout the industry, as he was seen as revolutionary to many. This is a devastating blow for Maria, to have a man who has crafted her career now be gone leads to her having to reevaluate her life.
