Description
The film follows a collector who acquires a unique music box from the owner of a sex theatre. The box features a miniature stripper that comes to life when the music is played. This narrative, reminiscent of a 'Twilight Zone' episode, incorporates elements of fantasy and paranoia as the protagonist interacts with a magician who sells him a peculiar cage containing the doll.

The plot unfolds with the protagonist ultimately ending up in the cage, embodying a classic fantasy theme where one takes the place of another. The film, written and directed by Alain Payet, is visually engaging and effectively conveys its storyline without relying heavily on dialogue.

The adult content is complemented by strong performances from cast members, including Kate More, Anita Blond, and Karen Lancaume. Despite its imperfections, the film is noted for its craftsmanship and storytelling, reminiscent of earlier adult cinema standards. It was filmed in a distinctive video style, which some argue is superior to modern HD techniques.

Overall, the film is recommended as essential adult cinema.
