Synopsis

A young black writer embarks on a voyage through her life: her parents' marriage, her brother's accident, her romance, then marriage and its subsequent collapse.

The voyage takes place within three movies that dominate her mind; Now Voyager, Viva Zapata, and A Place in the Sun. Her voice inhabits three movie stars as she becomes a bit player in her own life.
