Sam is a sound technician, who must literally walk in the footsteps of the characters on the screen. A "film within a film" that connects the world of modern film-making to the Paris of painter Toulouse-Lautrec and his model/lover Mireille.

Baseado no relato autobiográfico de Janet Frame, o filme conta a história de uma ruiva gorducha e tímida que é diagnosticada como esquizofrênica e passa oito anos sendo tratada com eletrochoques em um sanatório, para depois se tornar uma das mais aclamadas escritoras da Nova Zelândia. Por pouco não submetida a uma lobotomia, é salva pelo fato de seu livro de contros “The Lagoon and Other Stories”, receber um importante prêmio literário.
