The film depicts the results of an idea by avant-garde director Stephen Dwoskin to bring together a group of strangers, who volunteered to participate, and film them over a period of five days encouraging them to explore and act out their fantasies. The outcome, which was edited from 15 hours of footage filmed by Dwoskin, shows the formation of intense encounters and relationships. The use of ceremonial gowns and elaborate make up further add to the atmosphere of this provocative and experimental film.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
