Synopsis
Garry, the troubled adult son of a wealthy family, returns home following a lengthy absence. Because Garry's father thinks that Garry's troubles are related to his sexuality, he sends him to a prostitute. Angry, Garry beats the prostitute. After moving into his own apartment, Garry has relationships with several women, including a suicidal school teacher, with whom he tries, unsuccessfully, to confide his problems. After the death of his father, Garry attends the wake, where he horrifies the other mourners by dumping food around him, forming a ritualistic circle.
