A Winter Tan background

A Winter Tan

In her final months, a professor and feminist activist escaped to Mexico, seeking a break from her demanding work before her life was cut short in a tragic murder.

The film tells the story of Maryse Holder, a professor and feminist activist who took a break from her feminist pursuits before her murder in Mexico. During this time, she became the subject of a sexually iconic story, which she later reflected on in her posthumous book "Give Sorrow Words". The film portrays this period of her life with blunt honesty and brilliance, brought to life by Jackie Burroughs' portrayal.
