In 1985, Greta Wells, grieving the loss of her twin brother and facing a breakup, undergoes an unconventional psychiatric treatment for her debilitating depression. This journey unexpectedly transports her to alternate realities in 1918 and 1941, where she navigates life as a bohemian adulteress and a devoted mother, respectively. Each existence presents familiar struggles and choices, prompting Greta to confront the distinct prices of her alternate lives. As she nears the end of her treatment, she must grapple with the possibility of choosing to remain in one of these worlds, leading to profound questions about identity and desire.
