A mentally ill woman is struggling to complete a pile of job application forms. When she is asked to describe herself in just 3 words her mind spirals. As she quickly unravels she starts to make lists of words that quickly grow beyond the page to become a chaotic physical mind map that takes over the walls, the floors and the ceilings of her home. At its core the film asks are 3 words enough for a person with mental illness to define who they are.
