About

Martha Horgan is a withdrawn, mentally disabled woman who lives with her aunt, Frances. One of Martha's unusual traits is that she doesn't lie, a quality that leads to her getting fired from a dry-cleaning shop thanks to the actions of the shifty Getso. Conflict seems to follow Martha, since she also becomes romantically involved with local fix-it man, Mackey, who is sleeping with Frances as well.

A quiet, heavy sense of isolation hangs over this portrait of a woman whose radical honesty makes her an easy target for a predatory world. The film finds its heart in the fragile, unspoken connection between a social outcast and the small town that fails to protect her.
