Camille Baker (Pascale Bussières) and boyfriend Martin (Henry Czerny) are fellow professors at a Christian university. Martin could get a coveted promotion but they can't continue to live in sin. She's devastated by her dog's death. Circus acrobat Petra (Rachael Crawford) sees her breakdown at the laundromat and comforts her. They become friends and eventually even more.
Camille is probably not conservative enough at the start. She's ill-fitting at the university. By starting her off as a liberated woman, her journey isn't as far or as dramatic as it needs to be. The style is rather bland. The idea of a circus in an industrial space could have been amazing. Overall, the movie is too slow and there isn't enough drama. It tries to be artistic which only drains the movie of any inherent tension.
