Step into the mind of Anna, a young woman who breaks down in depression while studying at Oxford. Back with her mother in Brighton she embarks on a journey for meaning while visiting doctors and therapists who all have different takes on how to cure her, while her drive to become a fashion model keeps her going despite body obsession and eating fixations. This is a story about navigating through a symbiotic child-parent relationship, coming to terms with beauty and the healing power of time and psychoanalysis. What does it matter to look good, if you don't feel it? "I start seeing emptiness as a big colourless hole. I can either fill it with something or I can lose myself in a vacuum of depression. Maybe the only cure against falling in is filling."
