Lucy Daniels believes a family secret revealed when she was four profoundly shaped her life and triggered a lifelong mental illness. Growing up in a prominent newspaper family, Lucy always measured her value by her writing. Achieving early success, she suffered severe anorexia, enduring harsh treatment in mental institutions. She survived, published her first bestseller, and won a Guggenheim Prize in literature – all before turning 22. This innovative documentary blends recreated scenes, animated dreams, constructed worlds, and personal interviews to explore a story of survival and creativity, seen through the filmmaker's and subject's perspective.
