Things get out of hand when a major security brand, an advertising agency and a production company meet at a so-called offline meeting, to try to agree on the final cut of a commercial film.
When the lights go on, everyone is apparently happy, except for the diversity expert. He believes that two of the characters are too similar, which will confuse the audience, and therefore suggests that they color correct one of the dark-skinned actors lighter to distinguish the two characters from each other.
The film is based on real experiences from meetings like this, from the directors time in the advertising industry.
