Description
Rena, a twice-married photographer who specializes in infrared techniques, travels to Tuscany with her father and his second wife. As the trip progresses, in an internal dialogue with her mental double, Rena submits her past to exposure. Using dark room techniques she reevaluates her explosive sexual coming of age, her relationships with her father and various lovers. An audacious woman, who tests the limits of freedom at every point in her life, in Rena’s parallel journeys Huston has created a powerful work of fiction and presented an in depth analysis of the relations between men and women.
