**********************************************************************************
Philip Wardman's feminine ideal is the statue of the Roman goddess Flora in his mother's garden. His marble Flora doesn't fade, doesn't alter, doesn't die.
But then he meets Senta Pelham, a beautiful, sensual, childlike actress and a living incarnation of the statue.
The two embark on a passionate affair that soon becomes dangerous when Senta sets Philip a test; to prove their love, they must each commit the ultimate crime against humanity...
