CGiii Comment
Absolute nonsense - Treut's body of work is...an acquired taste.
There has been a glimmer of something worthwhile with her endeavours in documentary...but, this early film presents no positive proof that there is a nascent talent.
Disjointed...and, not exactly accomplished.

The(ir) Blurb...
Dorothee, a would-be writer and journalist, leaves Germany for the Oz of San Francisco, searching for her long-lost mother and a cure for the malady of love. Installed in the Tenderloin, she peeps in on neighbors' bizarre sex rituals as well as does sightseeing of the more traditional kind. But encounters with male impersonator Ramona, charming Hungarian bohemian Dominique, and Susie Sexpert, barker for an all-girl strip show, lead to exploratory adventures of self-discovery and fun. When Dorothy surfaces like a dazzled tourist on the wilder shores of the city's lesbian community, she has discovered her true sexuality. . . . and left some illusions behind.
