Synopsis: A life-action feature, black comedy about a group of loosely connected, "ordinary" people who feverishly engage in obsessive rituals: Mr Peony fashions a papier-mache rooster's head and bat wings made of umbrellas; his landlady inflicts punishment on a life-size rag doll's effigy of him; the newspaper seller reinvents his TV as an erotic toy; the postal worker turns loaves of bread into hundreds of bullet-size bread balls; and the TV newscaster keeps two live carp in a tank--to suck her toes.
