Short summary

Tough and exacting coach Geneva whips track star Lucy into shape for an upcoming Olympic event. Geneva's training proves to be so grueling that Lucy eventually runs away into an outside world full of apathy and hostility.

Attempting to do the film equivalent of 'John Cage''s experiments with silence in music, Lloyd Kaufman sometimes cut to a blank, silent screen in this movie. This served only to confuse audiences, who purportedly yelled at management to fix the projector.
