In 1880s London, the writing team of William Gilbert (Jim Broadbent) and Arthur Sullivan (Allan Corduner) looks set to split after the comparative failure of their latest collaboration, 'Princess Ida'. Sullivan is keen to prove himself as a serious composer, feeling that Gilbert's writing has become too formulaic. However, when Gilbert's wife, Kitty (Lesley Manville), takes him to an exhibition of Japanese culture, his imagination is fired, and he enthusiastically contacts Sullivan with ideas for a new project." . . .

Il drammaturgo William Gilbert e il compositore Arthur Sullivan divengono celebri componendo operette di grande successo. Qualcosa però ogni tanto va storto, e il loro ultimo lavoro, \"Principessa Ida\", non ottiene l'esito sperato. Sullivan ne esce molto scoraggiato, la sua reazione è quella di lasciare l'operetta per dedicarsi alla musica classica, ma sia lui che Gilbert sono legati contrattualmente all'impresario Carte il quale invece ritiene che sia il caso di pensare subito ad un'altra opera per cancellare il ricordo della precedente. In una mostra in città è ricostruito un villaggio orientale, dove per l'occasione sono stati fatti arrivare uomini, donne e bambini giapponesi. Visitando la mostra con la moglie, Gilbert ha l'ispirazione per un nuovo testo dal titolo 'Mikado' (LaFeltrinelli)." . . . . .
