A Winter Tan

After being dismissed from her university, prominent feminist writer Maryse Holder (Burroughs) undertakes a sexual pilgrimage to Mexico in the mid-70s. Her hedonistic quest leads her to accumulate an ever-growing list of encounters, which she chronicles as a study of sexual power in relationships. As the undertaking becomes self-destructive and begins to span years, the emotions fuelling her mission start to boil over, alienating her from everyone, including herself.

Based on Holder’s own letters, this unique collaboration between five directors is an astonishing work that stands as Jackie Burroughs’s masterpiece, with an all-time great performance.
