Description: Walsh combines surrealist imagery with home movie footage to mark the milestone of her fortieth birthday and the archetypical voyage taken in search of self. Emerging from the constraints of a conservative upbringing, the filmmaker celebrates her sensuality, her mythical personae, and those ironic experiences which helped shape her identity.
