STORY LINE: INANNA is an aspiring actress who works as a stripper to pay the bills.  Infatuated with DEREK, a successful theatrical mask designer (Oh, that old chestnut?), Inanna is delighted when Derek falls in love with her and insists they marry.  After leaving her job (Because successful theatrical mask makers are like, so in demand and make tons of money, of course) and accepting the lead role in a theatrical re-telling of the Sumerian legend of Inanna's Descent Into The Underworld (Natch), she realizes that the play is commenting on and affecting her failing marriage, and her marriage is commenting on and affecting her performance...

Oh! The age old Life-Imitates-Art-Imitates-Life scenario! Actress-falls-for-mask-designer-and-her-upcoming-role-separates-them-and-is-also-at-the-same-time-a-commentary-on-work-separating-their-life! I need a tissue just thinking about it! I just... can't... So I won't. 

That was easy.
