Apparently as she grew older, Lucy developed the habit of masturbating while she looked at the pictures in Playgirl magazine. Vicki Hearne wrote, "I find this to be the most impressive evidence of all the complex intelligence of chimps, requiring as it does quite a capacity for responding to approximations and representations."
By using appropriated television and film imagery and original text, this videotape explores aspects of perception, imagination, and notions of wish-fullfilment.

Il paraît qu'en grandissant, Lucy a pris l'habitude de se masturber en regardant des images du magazine Playgirl. Vicki Hearne notait à peu près ceci: "Je trouve que c'est là l'évidence la plus frappante de la complexité de l'intelligence des chimpanzés. Cela exige beaucoup d'aptitude que de se livrer à la représentation, de faire le lien."
L'auteur explore la perception, l'imagination et la réalisation du désir. Pour ce faire, il entrecoupe son texte original d'images de la télévision et du cinéma.
