In November 1966, Mr. Owens completed his first film Autre fois j'ai aimé une femme ("Once I Loved a Woman"), which in its short existence, has had special screenings both at the school of the Institute and Morton Hall, the Second City Film Center, and the Filmmakers' Cinematheque of New York. Upon viewing Autre fois, Gregory J. Markopoulos wrote "[Edward Owens] may well be one of the few for whom 'amateur' and 'professional' need have no significance whatsoever: true to his own native talents, with grim determination uncanny, whether the mind in the arts is for or against beauty or its opposite twin, chaos." —John F.

Three years after the death of her beloved child, Elouise, Mara still feels her presence when she sits on the butterfly bedding in front of the jar with her ashes in it. Mara arranges a twelfth birthday party for Elouise, further alienating her from her husband, Richter, and remaining daughter, Hannah. Although Mara eventually vacates Elouise's room at the insistence of her husband, she does find a way to stay close to Elouise. Before long, however, Hannah discovers her mother's secret.
