About what. The deliberate, ironic, intellectual, vulgar, naturalistic, cold, quite erotic (all the appearance of Parker Uzii) is a film about the life of the worst provincials - garbagemen, grocery men, single mothers, nymphomaniacs and poets. People drink beer, compact garbage, read books, make love, run to the toilet - and at this time their fates change and life break. Pros. Hartley is perhaps the most independent of the famous “American independent” (that is, non -Hollywood) directors.
