leda & the swan

“leda & the swan” is an intimate and sensual rendering of the impulses which shape our search for meaning. A filmmaker asks two actors to dramatize a personal story about the end of a traumatic love affair, and quickly finds herself deeply immersed not only in the actors’ complex interpretation of her story, but also in the emotional world of their own evolving relationship. Through the intermingling of the ancient myth of Leda and the Swan, the filmmaker’s personal story, and the intricate dynamics of the young actors, the deeper, poetic and archetypal aspects of all love stories – of all stories – begin to converge.
