A portrait of Fujiwara's secondary school art teacher, Joanne Salley, who was fired after students found and circulated photographs of her topless, the film showcases Salley's diverse
roles and identities, albeit through clichéd shots of her
modeling and working out,
as well
as through teary
scenes in which she discusses her difficult childhood and the loss of her teaching job.
All around the
scene, images of ancient fertility goddesses share the space with contemporary feminist
role models such
as artist Carolee Schneemann, forming a kind of protective frame of feminine strength around the artist.
