Overview

Seemingly unrelated events connect several people: a young wounded soldier, a nurse, a failed comedian, and a murderer. The film starts literally with a bang and ends with a strangulation. In between there are numerous events both strange and unpredictable involving drugs and homosexuality, a deaf-mute and a potential suicide. The odd characters assembled in this movie are each in their own way in search of sexual gratification.
