In Silly Girl, new mum Vicky is haunted by a traumatic birth. Something feels off about what happened to her and she is determined to seek answers. After her ambitious doctor fails to address her concerns, she turns to other avenues, and her pursuit of justice and to be seen sets off an explosive chain of events beyond her control. She unwittingly becomes the face of a public movement, though her rise also spells the doctor’s spectacular downfall. Vicky is finally more seen than ever, but is what transpires really justice or has her new ‘movement’ betrayed her original personal goals?
