A bold and colourful comedy set in both a courtroom and the imagination of a delightfully oddball hero, Anne. Anne appears as an introverted courtroom illustrator whose difficulty in expressing herself stems from her imaginary mother’s constant criticism. However, when a dashing convict named Simon walks into the room we get a glimpse into Anne’s imagination and sanctum; a world of sexually infused 70’s disco. Anne’s attempts at trying to seduce Simon in the regular world seem to fall of deaf ears until she’s able to escape into her mind with him and indulge in a dance off that just might culminate in Anne’s happy ever after.
