After years of watching her work ignored or dismissed by critics, artist Harriet Burden presents her art behind three male masks. The shows are successful, but when Burden triumphantly reveals herself as the artist, critics doubt her. The public scandal turns on the final exhibition, initially shown as the work of acclaimed artist Rune, who denies Burden's role in its creation. But no one doubts that the two artists were intensely involved with each other.
