Opis

A black comedy set in the Swinging Sixties (1963-4) and revealed through the diaries of a doctor - 35 years old and still a virgin - whose curious obsessions drive him to start murdering his patients. Doctor Kristal is picky, pedantic and super-sure he's right - not that he would agree. In his consulting room he regards patients with contempt, and on his lonely walks through the graveyard he muses on life and death. His only friend, a doctor approaching retirement, tries to sell him his practice and to interest him in a young female doctor across town - but Kristal is obsessed with two attractive patients. Sexy young Jane Quinney, who he has helped before, now finds herself pregnant and wants his help again, while the alluring Eleanor, unhappily married to an older man (an overweening actor) wants Kristal to help slow her husband's voracious sexual appetite. Kristal thinks himself immune from any hint of sexual passion - but these are beautiful woman, desperate for his help. Isn't there anything he can do?
