Un esercizio di virtusosismo, postmoderno, in cui sono combinati assieme i classici del canone con la cultura pop, giovanilistica americana.

A group of students under the influence of a charismatic teacher. They have dinner at her house, tell her their worries and woes and she in turn tells them almost nothing. She is the quintessential sympathetic listener without identity, and the students become almost frantic to provide her with their own projected identity. And then Something Happens.
