Set in Philadelphia, the film follows Trevor (Pryor), a 27 year old busboy whose paralyzing fear of women has forced him to lead a solitary life. However, his fears turn into something much different when he takes in Lanh, a heroin addict looking for a place to hide out after stealing from a local drug dealer. Trevor allows him to stay at his apartment and agrees to score drugs for him, but only on the condition that he allow Trevor to transform him into the perfect woman. As Lanh succumbs to Trevor's demands, his obsession becomes more and more bizarre, causing the relationship between the two men to spiral out of control. Darkly comic and severely disturbing, SURRENDER DOROTHY is a gripping and intense film whose surreal logic and haunting images are at once unsettling and fascinating. [More]
