The Congress

An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider.
As Robin Wright is about to enter the animated zone, the Gate Guard tells her that the only way back to reality will be the next time she sees him. As she takes the pill to re-enter the real world, the Gate Guard can be seen as the bartender.
More than two decades after catapulting to stardom with The Princess Bride, Robin Wright decides to take her final job: preserving her digital likeness for a future Hollywood. Through a deal brokered by her loyal, longtime agent and the head of Miramount Studios, her alias will be controlled by the studio, and will star in any film they want with no restrictions. In return, she receives healthy compensation and her digitized character will stay forever young. Twenty years later, under the creative vision of the studio's head animator, Wright's digital double rises to immortal stardom. With her contract expiring, she is invited to take part in "The Congress" convention as she makes her comeback straight into the world of future fantasy cinema.
