This is the story of two women who were childhood friends. Although one of them was not overtly aware of it, the other friend had become sexually attracted to her over time. However, instead of voicing this inner desire, this longing, at times, comes out in the form of conflict between them. This conflict pushes them apart and years pass until they are reunited. However, this sublimated conflict inevitably arises and the friends part repeatedly without getting to the heart of the conflict.
Eventually, they get to their true feelings and they have a brief and passionate sexual encounter. However, instead of it being the beginning of a new phase in their relationship, it drives them apart as the one friend (who had not had the obsession) felted repelled by the homosexual aspect of her own sexuality and she QUICKLY jumped into a sexual liaison with a man to prove her own heterosexuality to herself. The obsessed friend felt betrayed and they went their separate ways again (though exactly how this occurred is VERY intense and striking, you'll just have to see it for yourself). The end.
I don't really think this is a "lesbian movie" per se, as the movie seems to point out that humans are sexual beings with a wide range of sexual desires and responses. Both women are sexually involved with men as well as each other. How they respond psychologically to this hidden desire is what makes this a really interesting movie.
