Eight people unknowingly form a circle - either through a friendship, attempted love, or brief sexual encounter. The tighter their circle gets, the more the spokes begin to twist and to bend. One of the persons in the circle is Julia, an actress, who thinks she's gotten her big break when she lands the role of Anya, the daughter of a Russian arms dealer. The director of the film has some radical theories on directing and believes that Julia, instead of relying on lines and a script, must become Anya. She must learn how to negotiate with hit men, handle a gun and enter into the mind of a criminal. When Julia finds out she is not the only "Anya," however, the circle begins to break. 　　译文(2): 八个人在不知不觉中形成了一个圈子——要么通过友谊，尝试爱情，要么通过短暂的性接触。它们的圆圈越紧，辐条就越扭曲。这个圈子里的一个人是茱莉亚，一个女演员，当她得到一个俄罗斯军火商的女儿安雅的角色时，她认为自己有了重大突破。这部电影的导演在导演方面有一些激进的理论，他认为茱莉亚必须成为安雅，而不是依靠台词和剧本。她必须学会如何与杀手谈判，如何使用枪支，如何进入罪犯的思想。然而，当茱莉亚发现她不是唯一的“安雅”时，这个圈子开始打破。
