"Standby" is a story that unfolds in the wings of the theatre, where two talented actors compete for the lead role in a production. As they await their auditions, a mysterious aura surrounds their encounter. They inadvertently unearth shared secrets and hidden desires. One of them unveils the other’s yearning for her mother's love, believing that winning the lead role holds the key to unlocking their affection.
