This offbeat psycho-drama follows a wealthy, mentally unbalanced young woman who mistakenly believes an aging prostitute is her dead mother. The hooker, Leonora, has lost her own daughter and is in mourning. But because she has strong maternal feelings, she is more than happy to play mother to the orphaned Cenci. However, the two women's strange relationship takes a problematic turn when Cenci's stepfather, Albert, enters her life once again... ready to reveal some long-hidden secrets.
