Filmmaker Raymond and recorder virtuoso Lacey combine animation, dramatic reconstruction, documentary footage and live performance to explore the altered states of a creative mind. At the pinnacle of a dazzling international career, Genevieve steps off the classical concert stage, driven by the need to rediscover her Australian roots, and give voice to the stories of her own time and place.
