- Synopsis:
- Psychological trauma and aberrant sexuality abound in this twisted 1972 tale of a young woman whose severe daddy issues send her on an unforgettably bleak downward spiral. Yearning for the love of her absentee father, Jamie (Marcia Forbes) inhabits an infantilised world surrounded by toys, including those which her wayward pops bizarrely continues to send her. Unable to consummate her new marriage with dashing colleague Charlie (Harlan Cary Poe), Jamie's chance encounter with aging sex worker Pearl (Evelyn Kingsley) leads her into the murky world of prostitution where her most disturbing erotic fantasies begin to play out.
