Over one weekend in a small Tasmanian town, a transsexual mortician prepares three bodies for burial at a funeral home. As she carefully works, she reflects on her own unusual life and childhood: her father's obsession with taxidermy and other darker pursuits; her own induction into the arts of taxidermy; the death of her parents; and her ultimate transformation from man to woman. Her sex change was a tentative step towards finding somebody to love her, and choosing a man came next. But when her plans to be with her chosen one are interrupted, she discovers just how far she will go to keep the hope of love alive.
