A strange ego trip by Bob Hoskins based on a story told to him many years ago. A young man, Tom (Dexter Fletcher), is in the army -- we don't really know what army, or in what war -- and scared at the first explosion of heavy ordnance he runs away. He stumbles on a strange young girl who is making herself up, and she does the same to the young man, and finds him a dress from a dressing-up box. He goes on, with weird make-up and a dress and stumbles upon an equally strange gipsy group, who accept him as a female clairvoyant. But there is a young woman in the group, and inevitably this leads to gender complications.
The film was made in Czechoslovakia and the whole thing is surreal; it is difficult to tell what Hoskins intended us to understand from the film.
