The audience observes the parallel events of a prostitute servicing a client intercut with a film producer visiting an old friend and guiltily offering him money for sex. "In a month of the blue moon a victim may rail with heroic defiance, but humiliation and restoration of order are inevitable." -Andrew Paterson, Parachute, February 1984
