A 'straight' couple, a teenage girl, and her younger brother are all initiated into a pansexual free love group led by a mysterious guru named Max over the course of one long summer on Fire Island. Lost for over fifty years, BARBARA is a freewheeling and taboo-shattering underground sex film from "Homosexual Handbook" author and playwright Josef Bush and filmmaker and experimental musician Walter Burns and based on the notorious Olympia Press novel by Frank Newman.
