In this gripping character study set amidst the fading punk culture of New York, we follow the journey of an unapologetically self-obsessed protagonist as they navigate through a series of exploitative relationships with individuals caught in the same social milieu. The film delves into the darker side of human connections, where people are used and manipulated for personal gain rather than genuine affection or companionship. Through its raw portrayal of emotional detachment, the narrative exposes the harsh realities lurking beneath the glamorous facade of an underground subculture. This thought-provoking film invites viewers to question their own motivations in interpersonal relationships and peel back the layers of self-interest that often lie hidden within even the most seemingly altruistic interactions.
