Following the death of her husband in 2011, the widow of a renowned photographer begins preparing his studio for a major retrospective and institutional bequest. In the process, she discovers a previously unseen portfolio containing photographs that stand apart from his known body of work—intimate, emotionally charged images taken in 1970 of a nude underaged girl.

When the woman depicted in the photographs, now an adult, learns of their existence, she demands their destruction. The discovery prompts a reckoning, forcing the widow to confront questions about consent, legacy, and the moral weight of art that may itself constitute a violation. As legal, ethical, and personal dimensions converge, she is left to reexamine her understanding of the man she married and the work he left behind.
