Upon returning home from work on his birthday, Steve—a middle class husband and father of two—finds the house dark and his family not home. He notices a chair, his television set, and a video tape obviously set out for his viewing. He turns the TV and VCR on, and begins to watch a tape made for him by his wife, Alexandra. The first clip shows his wife and children wishing him a happy birthday, but after the kids leave the room, Alexandra begins a striptease, and it appears to be nothing more than a birthday gift. As it progresses, however, it becomes clear that the tape is designed to humiliate and torture Steve for marital problems that Alexandra has been stewing about for years. While listening to his wife's complaints, he confirms his insensitivity by responding to the TV, "There's nothing here that a little Prozac wouldn't fix." As part of her show, Alexandra feigns breast cancer, has sex with their neighbor, and tells Steve that neither she nor their two children are ever coming home.

John "Dingo" Anderson vit au fond du bush australien, loin de tout. Un jour, un jet privé transportant le trompettiste de jazz légendaire Billy Cross (Miles Davis), de même que ses musiciens, se pose au milieu du désert australien, entre deux concerts internationaux, pour réparer une avarie. Billy Cross improvise alors un petit concert au milieu du désert pour quelques spectateurs privilégiés qui se trouvent là par hasard. John Anderson tombe instantanément sous son charme, et se prend d'une passion pour le célèbre trompettiste et sa musique. Il aspire dès lors à jouer au moins une fois en duo de trompettes avec son idole, devant le public averti d'un club de Jazz parisien. Presque arrivé à l'âge de trente-trois ans, plusieurs années après avoir croisé pour la première fois le grand trompettiste, il se décide enfin à partir pour Paris, dans l'espoir de concrétiser son rêve. Pour ce faire, il devra toutefois tirer Billy Cross de sa quasi-retraite.

In the 1930s, Teresa (Buday) is a naive young woman dealing with the oppressive attitudes of society and her father's austere ways. She has a fling with university Latin professor Jonathan Crow (Weaving). It takes her a while to figure out that he will not get serious with her. Teresa then starts dating liberal-minded banker James Quick (Neill). Once she's settled down with Quick, the idealistic Teresa becomes enamored with another intellectual, poet Harry (Williams). Quick encourages the affair, hoping that Teresa will come to realize that there's more to true love than mere sexual impulsivity.
