Lewis is a young Sydney-amateur-theater-director at his first experience: he is offered a job with a Governmental program for the rehabilitation of mentally ill patients in a Sydney institution for mentally ill. His project is overrun by one of the patients Roy who wants to put on stage-Cosi Fan tutte (Mozart). None of the patients in the cast is able to sing and none of them knows German which is the language of the libretto. Through a lot of difficulties Lewis and his cast develop a deep understanding. The play smartly adapted for the unusual cast is finally produced: lots of unforeseen situations gelöst 'a crazy way'but indeed brilliantly. Great success and sad farewell of the director from his cast.
