Marge is a celebrated professor of photography whose only subject for the past seven years has been her wife (and former student), Tiffany. When Tiffany embarks on a month-long silent hike without Marge, both artist and muse try to fill the void left by the other, while reckoning with the impact of relentless objectification and the white gaze that have defined their relationship.
