What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The premise centers on a nymphomaniac character, fetishistic desire, and an intentionally shocking service-call encounter.
Arthur is an unsuspecting plumber whose routine service call exposes him to an extraordinary customer and her unusual interests.
The plumber's long-treasured velvet goods provide the concrete desire at the center of the plot.
The combination of velvet fetishism, gorilla attraction, and exaggerated sexual characterization creates a surreal, grotesque comic register.
