A young woman (Maya Deren) comes home early in the evening and falls into a deep sleep. She begins to have dreams that can no longer be distinguished from reality. In these legendary dream sequences, which reflect female experience and domestic life, Meshes combines Hollywood melodramas of the time with the disturbing atmosphere of the emerging film noir. Maya Deren, dancer, photographer and theorist, began making films in the early 1940s. Beyond traditional notions of time and space, she created subjective cinematic realities, intertwining film, dance, rituals, choreography and poetry.
