Dwelling on the letters she received from her grandparent's whilst she was away at university, Waterman re-stages her memories of student life in the early 1990's. Their written words of endearment are contrasted with her own pensive reflections in the accompanying voiceover that traces an emotional journey. This autobiographical narrative employs edited extracts from the diaries and letters of the poet, Sylvia Plath, whilst she was at Smith College in the early 1950's, which mirror Waterman's own experiences. Footage of the catamaran journey leaving the Isle of Wight, where Waterman grew up, captured through the changing seasons, is intercut with representational shots of 'home' to embody her recalled insecurities and ambitions.
