In a series of interviews, Isabella Rossellini talks about her life, with reflections on her father, marriage, modeling and acting, the professional consequences of getting older, being a director, translating interest in science and gardening into film, and sexuality. The interviews take place at Pompeii, her apartment in New York, a Paris hotel where she lived as a child, Swedish waters near her mother's private island, the home of Jean-Luc Godard, and her garden. The narration includes clips from her "Green Porno" series, "Blue Velvet," and her modeling career. She emerges as reflective, humorous, and down to earth.
