Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could
very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to
endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word
that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new
meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are
little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have
ostracized for his disobedience, the über-controlling parents terrorize
their offspring into submission. The father is the only family member
who can leave the manicured lawns of their self-inflicted exile, earning
their keep by managing a nearby factory, while the only outsider
allowed on the premises is his colleague Christina, who is paid to
relieve the son of his male urges. Tired of these dutiful acts of
carnality, Christina disturbs the domestic balance.
