Brenda Robards is a high school math teacher with an excessively developed fetish about cleanliness. It has driven her husband out of her life, and threatens to leave her alone. One of her students, Laura, seems to sympathize with her plight and is probably responsible for the 'Teledate' advertisement left on her windshield one day. Her encounter in a hotel bedroom with a man she meets through this service is painfully frustrating for both of them, as her inability to accept even the slightest hint of dirt or, as she puts it: 'filth', drives them apart. Later, she seems to relent to some degree, and the movie ends on an ambiguously hopeful note.

    This is a very good short film and I was very pleased to fall upon it. I've been trying to find it on DVD somewhere without success, but if you do happen to see it, it's worth a look.

    I was very interested in this film mainly because of my work in mental health - and the writer has a very good way of showing abnormal illness behaviors on screen.

    It's hard for people to understand why someone would do so many things that are considered bizarre. Maybe some will think that this movie is an extreme - believe me, this happens. The main actress is very convincing.

    If you can find it, it's a very good psychological insight into the abnormal behaviors of a normal person.
