    Plot Outline: Several pieces of Frank Zappa's music are set against clay animation by Bruce Bickford.
    Plot: We enter Bruce Bickford's studio in Santa Monica, California; it's 1978. Various technicians are at work; drawers upon drawers are full of figurines. Bickford says a few things, and then, with Zappa's symphonic music on the soundtrack, we're taken into various Bickford creations. Knife-wielding Africans fight rifle-toting Whites. A drawing of a toilet fills the screen, various foods emerge from it, and they change shapes swiftly into images of animals and things. In claymation, three everymen move through landscapes of danger and conflict. Moments of the every day change quickly into grotesque images. Little holds its shape for more than a moment.

    Movie Quotes: Tao: So we're helping someone we don't like, based on the word of someone who never tells the truth.


    Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    The credit for Alan J. Schoolcraft, the president of operations for Mike Zoss Productions, is all in Spanish: “El Encargado de Mike Zoss Productions”

    Goofs: We know about 8 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Crew or equipment visible: About 20 minutes into the movie, Philips and Petty are looking off to the right and the reflector illuminating their faces is reflected in their sunglasses.

    Trivia: There are 1 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • SPOILER: Government censors insisted on cutting a scene depicting workers measuring the bathhouse in preparation for its demolition. Their actions make it clear to the father that the bathhouse will soon be destroyed, and he dies that night. With the scene removed, the death is sudden and inexplicable.
