It’s not easy dragging a wrecked\ncar anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or\nto the set of the hit show that you – as a twenty-five-year-old – are writing,\ndirecting, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden\nGlobes, or your publicist’s office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But\nDunham does it – even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the\nbathroom when she’s meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to\nher – because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what\nshe loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is\nholding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges\nand, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again – if only she\ncould remember who that self was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to\nfame – from selling the pilot of \u003ci\u003eGirls \u003c\/i\u003eto the present – in\nthree acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting\nthe relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare.
