Logline

In his first feature film, Justin Anderson, who has made a name for himself as a video artist, creates a fascinating and mysterious mosaic.

Joe and Isabel, whose marriage is on the rocks, are on vacation at their summer home, hoping to patch things up. Instead, they find a naked woman in their pool. Who is she? What is she doing there? These are just the first of many questions posed in this adaptation of Deborah Levy’s eponymous novel.
