Synopsis

This tale of a sixty-year love affair examines the age-old question of why we love the people we do. A beautiful, charismatic and wildly successful man is adored by a woman. Even as children, he held the power. Though bound by tragedy and friendship, he defined the terms of their relationship, until finally, in old age, the power shifts. Looking at the roles of Beauty, Insanity, Magic, Deceit, Consolation, Sensory Fulfillment and, finally, Being Seen, Judith explores why she loved Elliot—a relationship that impinged on every other in her life.
