Dog Lay Afternoon
Directed by Peter Skerl
A deeply transgressive exploitation film that uses extreme sexual and violent imagery to depict psychological trauma and its destructive aftermath.
A young girl witnesses her mother having sex with the family dog. When her father finds out, he burns the dog alive. She is so traumatized by these incidents that she later turns into a nymphomaniac. She moves to an island and lives there with her own dog, having sex with various guests who visit her.
