Storyline

Mara, a short film by Mike Figgis, is a dramatization of Mara-Marignan from Henry Miller's Quiet Days in Clichy. The 20 minute film was originally shot and broadcast as part of HBO's anthology film Women and Men 2. From the time of production, Figgis distanced himself from the film complaining that although he had been guaranteed final cut, the producers and HBO had re-cut the film prior to broadcast and removed the score he had specifically composed for his film. In 2015, Figgis released a new version of Mara, calling it his version of what the film "might have been".
