CGiii Comment

Well...this is the work of a twisted mind.

It does ask a seriously repellant question: does the 'abused' child like to be 'abused'?

And, if the answer is yes - then, is it abuse?

The acting is bad, the music is bad and the production values are bad - but, it does go to a place that few would ever tread...well done, for that fact alone.


Watch...
