Description

Made by American poet and avant-garde filmmaker Broughton, and filmed among the ruins of the Crystal Palace Terrace, this film is composed of narrative fragments in which a series of characters seek to express their desires through actions, voice-overs and songs. Its intermittent seriousness is regularly offset by burlesque performances and cabaret style lyrics.
