Judy Davis plays the two roles of a mother, Georgia, and her daughter Nina.

The film is presented as a series of flashbacks as Nina investigates her mother's death, which led to her adoption as a young child.

The film was inspired by Albert Tucker's 1984 painting of Joy Hester.

Producer Bob Weis originally wanted to make a film based on Hester's life but decided to make a fictional film.
