    Nina's Muse

    Holly Dale 2003 Canada Fiction color 22min Betacam
    Nina, a recent divorcee, has just moved into a downtown loft, but hasn't bothered to unpack anything except her cameras. Unsure of what to do with her newfound freedom, she wants to explore new adventures, one of which involves Michel, the gay man who lives in the building across from her. From her window, she's been secretly taking pictures of him as he makes passionate, freewheeling love to his many different lovers. Tired of needy and empty relationships, unsure of her own future, Nina yearns for what Michel has-sex for fun. without attachment. Her feelings intensify. She watches, photographs and follows Michel, struggling with her desire to make contact with him. Finally, she invites him to her apartment for a face-to-face encounter.
