A schoolgirl keeps a diary of her dreams and her encounters with a young artist. However, her routine is upset by the arrival of her widowed father’s mistress. When the young artist ceases visiting her she hatches a plan to win him back.

Famed for the dream-like logic that marks his earlier films Downey introduces a dark, almost Cronenberg-like, element of body horror to his metier but suffuses it with his own unique vision.

This marks another step forward for the young filmmaker.
