A long-suffering housewife, Harriet, has a midlife crisis and decides to finally live out her dream of going to film school - without telling her philandering husband or her self-involved teenage daughter. Harriet leads a double life while struggling to decide if her film, film school, and long-cherished ambition to be a director is pure folly or if it's a dream worth saving.
