A speechless film where visual narration meanders between two main and several supporting stories. We follow a woman with a newborn child escaping from aggressive journalists. Two men get married and have to suffer the consequences; they are ridiculed, covered in tar and feathers and beaten. In Jarman's contemporary world of electrical transmissions there is room for Jesus too.
Viewers who liked the elliptical, experimental style of music videos eagerly received The Garden, a film that formed a link between homosexuality and religion.
