Jackie is 38 years old. She lives with John and they have two small children. Once she wanted to be an opera singer. Once, she had a boyfriend called Paul who married someone else. Once she travelled overseas. In the sixties she was in love with Charlie. In the seventies she sang in a band. In the eighties she makes scones with the kids. In the process of (re)presenting an ordinary woman's life this film explores questions of identity, representation and truth.
