Frosted Glass

Jenny (a journalist) is interviewing Dan (a poet) about living with mental illness. Dan also has Asperger's Syndrome and has created a book of the poems that he wrote as a way of coping.

Jenny appears to be rather ignorant about the topic of mental illness and this causes some friction between them. Dan takes her on a series of surreal flashbacks where she see first-hand the events that triggered his condition, including religion, ignorance, boredom, concrete, the prejudice of others, the unprofessionalism of work colleagues, the conniving of authority and how he has found ways of coping, through faith, poetry, writing, performing, creation and experience.

After one particularly traumatic episode she accidentally reveals her own similar struggles which she is desperate to keep secret from the prejudice of her employer and the world at large. She takes Dan on an even more harrowing flashback-journey through infidelity, divorce, nervous breakdown, near suicide and the death of loved ones. Through their combined experiences they find that they had a lot more in common than they thought, and the film ends with the possibility that they could provide each other with the love that they need.
