Jesse Eisenberg presents ‘The Debut’ at San Sebastián Film Festival

At the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival, director Jesse Eisenberg presents his third film, ‘The Debut’. The film stars Julianne Moore as Mona, a shy housewife from New Jersey who seeks to escape her invisibility within her family by auditioning for a community musical.

Moore’s performance is supported by Paul Giamatti, who plays Jerry, a director who tests the candidate's limits through artistic manipulation. Rather than a traditional heroic journey, the film explores the protagonist's progressive immersion into creative madness and the intense power that art can exert on an individual's life.
