Verisimilitude
Struggling disabled actress Bella (Ruth Madeley, Years and Years) gets a job advising a film star how to be disabled for his latest role.
Overview
Struggling disabled actress Bella gets a job as disability consultant for rising British star Josh Baron, whose latest role is the inspiring true story of an army veteran who lost his legs in combat and went on to become a Paralympic medal-winning athlete. If he can get it right and give the performance of his career it’s a part with Oscar written all over it. Josh is everything you’d expect a film star to be: ambitious, narcissistic, ruthless and desperate to win awards.
