The Letter

A reaffirmation that love and sex know no age.

A sardonic film about the clichés laid on women.

Two young women in love communicate through fantasy and touching in a rhythmic buildup, merging time concepts. Flashes of the past blend with the present and future in a collage of themselves, the hills, the sea and their sexuality.

Through a series of dream-like episodes, UNFOLDING suggests universal awareness—aloneness, fantasies, searching, touching, loving. In the vague suggestion of a story, nature and sea mix with hints of legend, ritual, and poetry. UNFOLDING becomes one’s own folklore of imaginings. Double and triple exposure blend ocean, hills, sun, woman, and man, to portray subterranean feelings, ethereal feelings, the freeing of self, in loving and lovemaking, culminating in orgasm.

Superimposed images of a woman dancing.

"These are my past lives when my lovers were black and my lovers were white, when I was male and when I was female." A reincarnation.

A film by Coni Beeson.
