Greg, a television executive gets Alison, his assistant, a documentary-maker to interview bereaved mothers to
get them to cry on video. He becomes obsessed with depicting emotion even if it is artificially augmented when
he thinks people do not shed enough tears.
Alison psychoanalyses Greg to help him resolve problems from his childhood which led Greg to become emotionally
retarded. Alison probes his past until she exposes incidents which caused him to be cold, remote and unfeeling.
It's all about emotion in the human eye.
