Synopsis

A mother and her son are in a white kitchen. They have a lengthy conversation in which they discuss their incestuous relationship as well as other sexual and domestic affairs. The kitchen furnishings are prominent. A photographer continually enters and leaves the frame, and actors pause in their actions to pose for pictures. From time to time pages of script are handed to the actors to follow. The houseboy appears and joins in the conversation; he completes a ménage à trois with the mother and son. A portion of the dialogue is muted by the sound of an electric blender. The son murders his mother on the kitchen table. Everyone sneezes throughout the film.
