In a Sydney institution for mentally ill patients, Lewis, an aspiring theater director, embarks on an unconventional journey as part of a governmental rehabilitation program. He is tasked with leading a group of patients in staging Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutte. The challenge is formidable; none of the participants have any singing experience, and the language barrier poses a significant hurdle as they all struggle to understand and communicate in Italian.As the production unfolds, chaos and hilarity intertwine, creating a comic tapestry that both entertains and challenges the group's preconceptions. The process not only unveils each character's hidden talents but also unearths their emotional traumas. Through their shared love for theater, they learn to confront their fears, insecurities, and pasts while strengthening bonds between themselves and Lewis.A delicate balance of humor and heartache emerges as this unconventional troupe endeavors to bring the opera to life. The film explores the transformative power of art, the resilience of the human spirit, and the connections that can be forged in the most unlikely circumstances.
