Synopsis

A youth searches for his unfaithful lover and along the way encounters orgies and various forms of sexual depravity. In one incident, the youth, followed by his listless, mollycoddle brother, who wears earflaps in evidence of his dependency, meets his mother in a junkyard. She threatens to shoot her sons with a machine gun unless they return home to eat dinner, but when she is unable to follow through with her threat, the boys depart and she stabs herself. Ignorant of his mother's action, the brother is transformed by his odyssey, and in a spiteful fit he tosses away his earflaps, achieving manhood.
