Debut

 

Christina, a young girl of unidentified age and origin and her partner, Ray, who transforms in the course of the film from her “daddy” to her “lover” to her “pimp”, wander the streets of New York, the Big Apple, like modern day Adam and Eve after the fall. As the characters shed one disguise after another, so does the film -- evoking a broad range of genres from cinema verite to film noir to art film -- and stripping them all in search for the moment of “naked truth” which may or may not strike at the film’s disturbing climax. The landscape shifts from the external and familiar - to the internal, increasingly surreal terrain. It is as if the audience is forced to get inside the characters minds and look at the world through their eyes – without getting a chance to ever figure them out…
