[edit] Plot

The film depicts a young woman granted the ability to see into her future, including her future with different men.

[edit] Background

This film, sometimes known as The Loves of Sunya, was Swanson's first independent production, followed by the successful Sadie Thompson (1928), and the disastrous Queen Kelly (1929), directed by Erich von Stroheim. Swanson obtained the financing for both Sunya and Queen Kelly with the help of Joseph P. Kennedy, with whom she was having an affair at the time.
