Tony, an Anglican priest newly arrived in Australia from the United Kingdom, is asked to visit the notorious artist Norman Lindsay out of the church’s concern about a blasphemous painting of the crucifix that Lindsay plans to exhibit. His wife, Estella, accompanies him on the visit to Lindsay’s bucolic Blue Mountains compound, where they meet Lindsay’s wife, Rose, two models, Pru and Sheela, and the maid, Giddy, who all pose for Lindsay. The half-blind, mute “odd-job” man, Devlin, also sits for portraits.
