She spent six years writing other people's feelings. She has never once written her own. Mia Rossi, 29, is one of the most successful songwriters in the music industry — her name is in the credits of forty-seven hit songs in five years, she has written number ones for artists in six countries, and absolutely nobody knows her name. She prefers it this way. Writing other people's feelings requires a specific emotional detachment she has built into an art form: she can identify what a song needs emotionally with clinical precision without ever accessing her own emotional reality. When she is commissioned to write an album for Stellan, a major pop star whose label has decided he needs a more 'authentic' emotional direction, the assignment requires her to actually spend time with him — understanding his emotional landscape, his experiences, what he genuinely feels. Stellan is not what she expected: not the managed pop product but a genuinely feeling person who begins, episode by episode, to realize that the songs Mia is writing for him are more emotional than she can explain purely professionally. The film is a slow-burn romantic drama about a woman who understands everyone else's heart with extraordinary precision and has been carefully avoiding her own. Act One — The Assignment Mia in the session room. Clinical, brilliant, precise. Stellan arriving expecting a professional and meeting something harder to categorize. Act Two — The Songs The songs taking shape. Their emotional content becoming specific in ways Stellan doesn't understand and Mia pretends not to notice. Act Three — The Credit Who wrote what, and why it matters. The film's ending is not a kiss but a song — Mia's first credit under her own name.
