In her first feature A Soap, a woman has a relationship with a transgender. In this second feature, a woman who owns a dance school has a relationship with a man who just came out of prison, having served a sentence for a rape that he says he did not commit.
The question that the mother asks defines this movie as the preceding one: “How does one love someone like that?” The personage of the dominant mother announces the next feature A Family.
