Aliens are after the heroin-like substance produced by the human brain at the point of orgasm. Anne Carlisle, who co-wrote the screenplay, plays a dual role as a lesbian punk model and a male homosexual punk model. A subplot involves Otto von Wernherr, a government scientist investigating the UFO on Carlisle's roof. This offbeat film, directed by a Soviet-born filmmaker, captures New York City in the grip of the New Wave movement of the early 1980s.
“Recasts Weimar Germany - with its attendant androgyny, drugs, and general air of apocalypse - as a New York New Wave nightmare.” Gary Morris, Bright Lights Film Journal
