Selma (Björk) is a Czech immigrant, a single mother working in a factory in rural America. Her salvation is her passion for music, specifically, the all-singing, all-dancing numbers found in classic Hollywood musicals.

When a desperate neighbour falsely accuses Selma of stealing his savings, the drama of her life escalates to a tragic finale.
