Synopsis
An experimental narrative in which one actress plays out five distinct characters in four different scenarios: in the first, she plays a blond-wigged hooker with a gnawing fixation on her therapist whom she stalks; in the second story, she plays a mute immigrant wife forever attempting to mollify her cruel husband; in the third, she plays twin sisters--one is a meek invalid and the other, a butch cross-dressing businesswoman; and finally in the fourth story she's a housewife who lands on a TV gameshow where she and her errant husband air their dirty laundry - much to the canned-laughter amusement of a studio audience.
