An epic exploration of love, spirituality, and sensuality in a violent, power-mad world, Presence tells the story of two young people who meet while they’re living on the street in Washington D.C. amid the upheavals of the late 1960s: Jason, the bookish introvert, and Mira, the wild and beautiful novice prostitute. Alienated from their deeply dysfunctional families, they find in each other something they’ve never experienced before – love – and a chance to make up their own ways of loving, without regard for anyone else’s rules: an all-out love that looks like madness to others – born of their deepest secrets and wildest dreams, their sensual and spiritual yearnings, without conditions or boundaries.
