Mad, manic, brutal and funny.

Be warned: It's also very, very dark...and, quite brilliant.

The(ir) Blurb...

Christine notices it immediately when her neighbor Wayne coughs. She has an obsession for dust and tells Wayne that that is the reason for his coughing. When Wayne tells he constantly misses pairs of underpants, Christine remembers that her lesbian friend and junkie Lisa really likes those. Wayne demands them, but Lisa refuses to comply and threatens him with an injection needle.
