Sally Potter's experimental debut feature tracks the relationship between two women of opposing class and race: Celeste (Colette Laffont), a black administrative worker, and Ruby (Julie Christie), a white woman who exists as a kind of trophy among the upper classes. An ambitious attempt to rewrite cinema history from a feminist perspective, the film was made by an all-female crew and cast, all of whom received equal pay for their contribution to the project.
