 Regina Wasserman, a young artist making a name for herself in Manhattan in
1966, finds herself attracted to two men. In this world before "Ms." how
does she choose? The repercussions of her decision affect her whole circle
of friends as they go out into an ever more complex and violent world. The
beauty of a painting and the haunting melody of a song are in stark
contrast to the tragic events of the decade that changed the world.   "Some
things start, while others finish."  Openings.
