Lewis (Ben Mendelsohn) takes a position as play director at a mental institution with the job of helping in the rehabilitation process. Inmate Roy (Barry Otto) talks Lewis into producing Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutti." A cast of wild characters from the patients is assembled, though none can sing nor speak Italian, which is the language of the play. But Lewis soon learns a lesson or two about imagination from the unlikely cast in this Australian production.
