An earnest theater director has the task of remounting her former mentor’s most famous work, the opera Salome. Some disturbing memories from her past will allow her repressed trauma to color the present.

Continuing his preoccupation with trauma, eroticism, and technology, Atom Egoyan reunites with Amanda Seyfried for this operatic, metatextual plunge into the pit of creative obsession. As the fragile border between stage and life collapses, Seven Veils grapples with the exorcising power of art.
