Bilitis is the beautiful story of a young girl, gradually responding to her awakening desires. She is confused by the new sensations and emotions that arouse her, so she seeks to understand her new awareness, the discovery of her own sexuality. She is bewildered as she takes her first hesitant steps, to leave her innocence behind.
