Description LEAD - NADIA, 45-65 open ethnicityA living embodiment of privilege gone awry, Nadia's fixation on "her house" has festered for six years like a wound that refuses to heal. Her delusion transforms a lost auction into a perceived birthright, revealing a woman whose grip on reality has been eroded by years of unchecked entitlement. In her mind, she's not trespassing—she's claiming what the universe owes her. But what devastating life events twisted her sense of reality so severely that a house she never owned became the hill she's willing to die on? HMU & WARDROBE: ALL SCENES: 1 DAY, 1 LOOK Business casual – not a modern look, but a blazer, blouse, and jewellery from i.e. the 90s. Hair perfectly styled. Makeup to make her feel ‘rich’. | ||

Each room holds memories she's not willing to surrender to a stranger's demands. What untold sacrifices has she made to create this home that makes her willing to stand her ground against such unhinged entitlement?
