Synopsis
Beth B, a forerunner of the East Village's transgressive "No Wave" cinema, has assembled twelve strangers to act out fantasies in a bedroom. One person sits, waiting on a bed -- "The Sitter." Another person enters -- "The Visitor." They introduce themselves: a combination of excitement, fear and anticipation are palpable as "The Visitor" tries to act out a fantasy of their choice with "The Sitter." "The Sitter" is not privy beforehand to the specific fantasy of "The Visitor." These unscripted encounters are intimate portraits of the human psyche -- simultaneously childish, comic, erotic, emotionally shattering and ultimately revealing.
