Pioneer lesbian-feminist filmmaker, Barbara Hammer, constructs an autobiography before someone does it for her in this post-postmodern sequel to her award-winning documentary Nitrate Kisses.

Lesbian autobiography is a slender genre, so Hammer draws from general culture studies for critique with ironic synthesized "voices of authority". Archival footage of the AFL/CIO faculty strike at San Francisco State, Black Panther Party rallies and early Women's Music Festival and a Take Back the Night march enrich the context.

Hammer challenges a younger generation to visualize a world before they existed.
