Lewis, a young amateur theater director, is offered a job with a governmental program for the rehabilitation of mentally ill patients in a Sydney institution. His project is overrun by one of the patients, who wants to stage the opera Cosi Fan Tutte by Mozart, despite the fact that none of the patients can sing or speak Italian. A comedy of errors ensues, but one which unifies the patients and their director in unexpected ways.

An earnest amateur director attempts to stage a Mozart opera with a cast of patients who cannot sing or speak a word of Italian. This chaotic collision of high art and mental health wards finds unexpected warmth amidst the inevitable musical disasters.
