Plot

The central character of the film is Tommy Matisse. The title combines the title of the Who's sixties rock opera Tommy and twentieth century French artist Henri Matisse.

Tommy is a Melbourne boy studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He is a violinist and composer who hears music in unusual sources such as trains on the London Underground or the chirping of insects.

He is a rebel against the traditions of classical music as shown by his bringing a homeless woman living in the Underground on stage for a concert. A sympathetic professor decides that he is the type of innovative artist needed to revive a dying opera artform.

Having shocked opera's establishment, he returns home to Melbourne on the death of his younger sister Emma. He discovers a CD that she made for him and decides to enter the genre of electronic music.

Tommy's girlfriend Alysse has caught the attention of a sleazy entrepreneur named Hector Lee who owns a club called Trance-Zen-Dance and who is also a drug dealer. Hector Lee has a young assistant called Trig who also has a crush on Alysse and always carries a video camera.
