Born into Swedish nobility, Agnes von Krusenstjerna defies convention by pursuing a writing career. As she harnesses her burgeoning talent to write erotic fiction, while coming to terms with her own sexuality, her trajectory is peppered with success and all-consuming danger. Zetterling sets the scene for her final feature film as director with a harrowing opening sequence in Venice that is drenched in a claustrophobic atmosphere so thick you can feel it.
