synopsis
Lacking any particular plot line, this feminist film focuses on the adventures of Ruby (Julie Christie) who goes to the Yukon to search out her roots -- her father was a gold prospector there -- and also details the experiences of Celeste (Colette Laffont) as she tries to get her male bosses to answer her questions related to banking and money. Observations on the worse aspects of male chauvinism may turn off some viewers, while others will appreciate director Sally Potter's effort to expose bias.
