A woman washes her hair in the kitchen sink while telling her friend about a memory of sitting in a bathtub and watching her aunt get ready to go out. A narrative fragment, a very short story, a performance and exercise in the prosaic as mythologized through memory — the pressing of pubic hair against nylon, the pressing of fingers on fruit, the pressing of an image of womanhood, sexuality, pleasure on the young psyche of the character in the film. The pressing of light on photosensitive chemicals — minerals exposed — “light struck” is a phrase Barber thinks about: the bearable violence.
