    Seven months ago, Sean, a young Irish film maker, was on top the world. He was about to direct his first international feature film with a dazzling cast and a healthy budget.

Now, barred from the editing room, Sean sits alone in a hotel room in London, contemplating how he got here. He watches the new versions of his movie that the studio Fed Ex to his hotel room every morning. Each version moves further and further from Sean’s original vision.
