Synopsis:
In Flesh (1968) we follow a teenage hustlers attempts to raise money for an abortion for his wifes lesbian girlfriend. In Trash (1970) rather than get rid of a baby, a sexually impotent heroin user and his ambiguously gendered girlfriend (played by Holly Woodlawn, recently seen in Milwauke, Minnesota) try to start a family by faking a pregnancy to get on welfare.
In Heat (1972) a young, forgotten T.V. child star seeks to make a comeback in L.A. by getting involved with the family of a former B movie star - now a gameshow panellist - her lesbian daughter and her bisexual ex-husband.
