Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) is a young film student living in London in the early 1980s. She wears oversized shirts, carries an Olympus camera round her neck at parties, and sits at a typewriter each day, attempting to bring her film project to life. As she gets more involved in a tense and somewhat troubling relationship with the much older Anthony (Tom Burke), she struggles to balance her creative dreams with the ups and downs of loving him.
