A video travelogue through love, liberatory technology, social and personal mythology, and the pleasures and rigors of making life into art told in part through the pixelated beauty of the videophone. The film sees Smith from 1991 through 1993 sending messages to her lover, physician Roy Walford, while he is sealed inside the Biosphere 2 and serving as its resident physician.

Mia, a Dancer's Journey is a daughter's promise to tell her mother's story becomes the unfolding of more than the life of the celebrated 20th century ballerina Mia Slavenska. It is the story of a lost time in dance, of exile and return, and of coming to terms with impermanence-in art and in life.
