A sexually intriguing exploration into a teenager's cry for help and her mother's inability to face up to the truth, preferring instead the comfort zone of her fabricated past and her self-centered pursuits as a painter. the mother's obsessions include her passion for Renaissance painting which is inextricably linked to her own forays into sexual pleasure and the lie she continuously refuses to fess up to. Her current boyfriend hinders her redemption while "a blast from the past" forces both she and her daughter to confront their issues head on.
