Synopsis
Ten-year-old Annie lives with her father Marvin on a goat farm somewhere in Texas. Annie is often boring, she has no pleasure for school and her alcoholic addict father does not care about her. Since Marvin spends time with Demolition Derby and his goats, Annie has to deal all the time alone. Out of sheer boredom makes daytime forays through the house, rioted in father's store room or makes a telephone prank at an auto repair shop. The additional daily routine consists of only forays into the countryside, where Annie lives out her lust for destruction. In this process, she destroyed some objects lying around in the area, the tree trunks are chopped, crushed maggots, toilet bowls and a birthday cake one sitting in the wheel-chair girl smashed with a baseball bat and took her gift, a large colorful lollipop is smashed or shot at bullshit and cow carcasses with a paintball gun. Also bananas are not spared from it and blasted with firecrackers.Actors

The film follows the meandering (sexual) adventures of the poet and drunk, Charles Serking, laying bare the sleaze of life in the less reputable neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Serking's life takes a turn for the better when he meets Cass, a young hooker with self destructive habits. They have a stormy relationship. When Serking gets an offer from a major publishing house, Cass tries to stop him from leaving, but fails. Serking gives in to the temptation of the big bucks, but soon realises his mistake and returns to LA only to find that Cass has killed herself in his absence. Devastated he hits the bottle in a nightmarish drinking bout, but finally reaches catharsis and returns to the seaside guesthouse where he spent his happiest moments with Cass. Here he rekindles his poetry with the aid of a young admirer in one of Ferreri's trademark beach scenes.

The film's title character, Francis, lives with his invalid, abusive mother in a dingy tenement apartment, and has suffered a life of unrelenting misfortune and brutality, further impacted by a stutter. Over time, he has withdrawn from the world and into himself, silently observing others rather than interacting with them. His only solace has been his Catholic faith, but he has begun to question his belief in a loving God who could countenance so much evil and pain. When he discovers he can see into the apartment of a beautiful, mysterious woman from his own back stairs, Francis cannot stop watching her, even after he meets her and they become romantically involved. Unable or unwilling to believe that she could actually love him, he becomes ever more obsessive in his voyeurism. And it is what Francis sees – or thinks he sees – that leads ultimately to his undoing.
