Wow, I just wiki'd the film and it turns out it was the centre of an
obscenity trial. Innaresting. Never seen it, but i shall.
What are the similarities between Pokler's arc and the film? Pokler's
acceptance of the series of dummy daughters, i.e. not 'growing up' and
facing the terrors of the regime his employers?
