A provocative 1970s gender-inverted Don Juan tale that uses seduction, confession, and moral transgression to explore desire, destruction, and spiritual reckoning.

Modern-day Don Juan-styled Jeanne prides herself in the destruction of men who have fallen for her charms, and reveals to a priest the murder she has committed and honestly details her past sexual encounters.
