- Synopsis
- The stories of three women intertwine in voiceover to Sandra Davis’ collage of contradictory images: a Florida swamp, mermaids, the majestic medieval architecture of Europe, Anita Hill before Congress and abstract color and light, interspersed with bits of 1950s educational films. These are shocking testimonies about the burden of female identity: illegal abortions performed in the ‘50s without anesthesia; the dynamics of the relationship between husbands and wives; the inability to participate in the enjoyment of sex. A mixture of documentary and narrative filmmaking, Davis’ powerful film is a personal female journey to deconstruct the burden of inherited identity. (Stela Jelincic)
