A woman invites an artist to visit the remote coastal region where she lives, in the belief that his vision will penetrate the mystery of her life. Over the course of one hot summer, his provocative presence provides the frame for a study of female fate and male privilege, of the geometries of human relationships, and of the struggle to live morally between our internal and external worlds.
