Situated primarily in a hockey arena and a beauty salon/abortion clinic, Maddin’s serialized film (comprised of ten short chapters) details a Winnipeg hockey star’s encounters with an oversexed Chinese woman named Meta and her hairdresser/abortionist mother. The player’s name is Guy, and Maddin has conceded that the film is partially autobiographical: “A lovingly self-loathing peek at myself, but only as I would have enough courage to look–through a cracked glass made foggy by hairspray.” Through both form and content, the film explores voyeurism; it was initially shown as a peephole installation.
