A darkly atmospheric 1970s thriller that blends mythology and psychological unease with an intimate, morally ambiguous relationship between two women.

A superstitious servant girl - who has foreboding nightmares about a naked man on horseback - comes to live with a solitary female artist at her country chateau. As the artist takes the girl under her wing, a sensuous relationship develops between them.
