Drawing inspiration from Kathy Acker's novel "Pussy, King of the Pirates" and her cut-up methodology, this film embarks on an exploration of the interconnectedness between the bodily realm and the realm of celluloid. By employing surgical cuts as a metaphorical device, the film establishes a striking analogy between the incisions made on the skin and the sutures that bind the film through the art of editing.
