Ulysses takes place in a single day, 16 June 1904, also known as Bloomsday, it sets the characters and incidents of the Odyssey of Homer in modern Dublin and represents Odysseus (Ulysses), Penelope and Telemachus in the characters of Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, and contrasts them with their lofty models. The book explores various areas of Dublin life, dwelling on its squalor and monotony. Nevertheless, the book is also an affectionately detailed study of the city. In Ulysses, Joyce employs stream of consciousness, parody, jokes, and virtually every other literary technique to present his characters. Many consider it the best novel of the twentieth century. It is powerfully written, a book for the ages.

A film is being made of a story, set in 19th century England, about Charles, a biologist who's engaged to be married, but who falls in love with outcast Sarah, whose melancholy makes her leave him after a short, but passionate affair. Anna and Mike, who play the characters of Sarah and Charles, go, during the shooting of the film, through a relationship that runs parallel to that of their characters - Sarah Woodruff è una distinta ex-governante inglese evitata da tutti per essersi macchiata di vergogna con un tenente della marina francese naufragato nelle acque antistanti un piccolo paese sul mare, Lyme Regis. Tutti la considerano pazza e proprio per questo suo essere considerata la matta del paese, Sarah ha la libertà di stare sola in tutti i luoghi e in tutte le ore, cosa assolutamente vietata ad una signorina perbene nell'Inghilterra vittoriana.
