The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (2004)
Der siebenjährige Jeremiah wird von seiner Mutter Sarah (Asia Argento) von seinen geliebten Pflegeeltern weggeholt, um mit ihr zu leben. Sarah ist reinster "white trash", ständig hat sie neue Liebschaften, teilt mit ihm ihre Aufputschmittel und läßt zu, daß ihr Liebhaber den Jungen mit einem Gürtel schlägt, ein Vorgang, den das Kind bald zu genießen beginnt. Nach einer erneuten Hochzeit verschwindet Sarah und Jeremiah landet bei seinen übergläubigen Großeltern, die den Jungen halb in einen Bibelfanatiker verwandeln. Drei Jahre später taucht Sarah, die sich inzwischen durch Strippen und Prostitution finanziert wieder auf und fängt dann ein inzestuöses Verhältnis mit dem Kind an, kleidet es in Mädchenkleider und putzt Jeremiah auch so heraus. Und die Kette von Liebhabern, darunter der perverse Jackson (Marylin Manson) reißt nicht ab...
