Plot?

The Substance is all about the life of a woman whose name is Elisabeth. The story revolves around how the lady had lost her fame and show due to her age. It is shown in the film how the makers of her show decide to bring some younger faces to host the show instead of the 50-year-old lady. Elisabeth was popular among her fans, but public opinion about her ageing always bothered her. Elisabeth eventually gets affected and decides to do something to get her young face back. In her eagerness to look younger, she gets to know about a drug called substance, a solution that claimed to generate youthful skin. Elisabeth, in her agitation, decided to use the drug and inject it to become younger and attractive.

However, the story takes a dramatic turn when the drug depicts a symbiotic relationship between the two bodies, and the person who has it must transfer consciousness between the bodies every 7 days without fail.

The serum develops a younger version of Elisabeth named Sue, who can go outside for a week. Elisabeth and Sue can then feed each other alternately. The film focuses on how hazardous this scenario becomes over time.
