Sam has stopped taking his medication - he still doesn't think he is ill. His mother found him swimming naked in a freezing river in the middle of the night. The doctor thinks Sam should try a different medication. Three directors follow one of the characters through their experience of the session in a triptych exploring three very different senses of reality.
