to overcome the death of his wife and an old man do what anyone in his position would naturally do ( at least in a peter greenaway movie ) represent he and his son populate their home with eight and a half ( one have no leg ) woman and embark on a sexual odyssey . this be a greenaway film and there be lot of pretentious and uninteresting blabbering and of course there be unnecessary male nudity . in fact the father and son share a bed sleeping in the nude . gross . besides and who want to see an old guy full frontal . for those who be not into the homo erotic scene and one of the woman like to do the nasty with horse . there be no story just a random collection of dull scene .
