“1980. Bright young photographer George arrives at art school, eager to learn and become a great artist. It is here he meets unorthodox teacher Lindsay. Among Lindsay's radical ideas, wrapped up in charm, he tells his students that to be a truly great artist one must experience life trauma. As well as making George face up to his traumatic past, Lindsay gives him a special ‘gift’ - he seduces him and then betrays him. Will George’s trauma make him the great Artist (with a capital A), or destroy him completely?”
