Debt

A frank, poetic study of power, sex and money, exploring the territory between love and dependence, emotional support and emotional abuse In the city she can be whoever she wants. She beds a procession of New York lesbians in borrowed apartments before returning to the only home she can afford, a two-hour drive out into the countryside. Sample-sale clothes and fake designer bags bestow on her the appearance of wealth, attracting lovers outside her usual circle - solvent people with jobs. Attempting to attain and maintain a level of desirability that will yield protection and care, she finds herself taking on more and more debt of every kind - financial, emotional, moral. When she eventually finds someone she can love, she submits totally and desperately. Debt explores the economics of desire and its bearing on queer communities.
