Zalman King is hired by a wealthy family as their ski instructor after being recommended by their friend and his new lover Charlotte Rampling. Soon, King is the center of attention at the Colorado ski resort, with complete strangers acting as if they know him. In his spare time he searches for drugs, almost getting arrested during a deal which appears to be a set up. It is supposed to make him indebted to "the family" but actually makes him more paranoid. It culminates in a bizarre, dreamlike party at a steamy indoor swimming pool. A unique, nearly plotless, stream-of-consciousness film that will likely leave you scratching your head as to what it was all about, but as a mood piece leaves quite an impression. Music and electronics by experimental composer Joseph Byrd.
