The Son

Convinced that men run the world, a woman finds meaning only in erotic love. Her son, the only constant in her life, provides her with consolation and a reason to live. Broaching a taboo deeply embedded in the human psyche, this haunting story tells of a woman who sleeps with the bedside lamp lit — waiting for illumination.
