In the film, the strength of a love affair between two women, a lawyer and a filmmaker, is tested when the lawyer, after reading the filmmaker’s diary, disguises herself as a man and jealously shadows her lover. This film represents lesbian desire through an engagement of the “contradictions and complicities that have emerged subculturally, in both discourses and practices, through the feminist-lesbian debates on sex-radical imagery as a political issue of representation, as well as real life,” according to scholar Teresa de Lauretis.
