Plot

Valerie Solanas, a radical feminist of the 1960s, harbored deep resentment towards men, articulated in her provocative "Scum" manifesto. Aspiring to make her mark, she penned a screenplay and sought Andy Warhol's backing, only to be repeatedly overlooked. Frustrated and desperate for recognition, Valerie took a drastic step that would alter her life forever—she shot Warhol. The narrative unfolds as a complex exploration of her psyche, societal rejection, and the lengths one might go to for validation, ultimately painting a vivid portrait of a troubled yet impactful figure in the art world.
