Overview

During rehearsals for a provocative stage play, director Gregor clashes with young actress Dinah, who resists performing an intimate love scene. To challenge her views, he guides the cast through a series of imaginative theatrical tableaux spanning the history of love, art, and desire. As rehearsal and fantasy blur, past ideals confront modern attitudes, forcing the actors to reconsider what intimacy and morality mean both onstage and off.
