Set in London at the end of the 19th century, the film tells the story of Esther Kahn (Phoenix), an introverted working class Jewish girl who has trouble fitting in with the rest of her East End family, of which all members work in the family sweatshop. Esther is slow and stubborn, she never has an opinion about anything, she never feels anything for anybody, she's a stone. Yet she forces herself to consider questions usually reserved for philosophers about the life, drems and her identity, but as hard as she tries to imitate others, Esther comes to realize that this isn't the way to become a person. Then, once in the theatre Esther "wakes up", she comes to life: because she doesn't watch the play like others do, she lives it. She decides to become an actress and to use other characters to discover who she truly is. Esther now begins to learn how to act and to live. And it is these lessons that, one evening, on stage, all of a sudden, make her reveal twenty years of suppressed life. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
