It's artistic, beautiful, and filled with casually sensual imagery. The baseline of the story is certainly nothing unusual (girl thinks about marrying boy, girl has fling with other girl, girl falls for girl) but it's the circumstances that make it interesting (Camille works at a christian college, Petra is a circus performer). It's filled with soft sexy images that are beautifully done and captivating. It is definitely a film of artistic bent with a strong message regarding religion and positive lesbian attitudes, so expect a sermon or two. And also expect scenes of explicit sex.
I enjoyed it.
