Deliciously weird hand-crafted animation in which a faceless woman plays with a doll's house, has sexual dreams involving phallic vegetables, and goes to a theatre show of mesmerising floating flowers and lights. Whatever Suzan Pitt is having, I think we should all be so lucky as to taste a bit. Bill Plympton meets Pedro Almodovar in a meth lab.

A succession of weird images/vignettes may have been original at some point to illustrate streams of consciousness, dreams or else. But here, what it lacks in originality, it seems to be trying to compensate by being somewhat sexually provocative. The theater scene is pretty good though. Meh overall .

Beautiful, trippy, psychosexual animation. Very much resembles the thoughts of someone lost in a daydream. Externalizes through visuals internal psychological feelings and mental states, with every scene unfolding into the next. Gives the impression that it's very much a personal movie about the filmmaker's exploration of her own sexuality, creativity, and personality. Really extraordinary filmmaking; had quite an impact on me.
