Following the sullen character of Mia, the “gallerina” whose dreams of becoming an artist are never quite realized, Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him unfolds when it becomes apparent that a painting hanging in the Simon Pryce gallery is suddenly worth millions of dollars (the artist is hit by a cab and dies during his opening reception, you see). What follows thereafter is a frenzy of eccentric art collectors, a swindling countess, and the subject of the painting herself, all trying to gain ownership of the coveted work. In the midst of it all is Mia, inadvertently pushed onto a path of personal discovery to find her own artistic identity.
