Pin (1988)
Die Geschwister Leon und Ursula wachsen in gut situierten Verhältnissen auf. Ihr Vater ist ein wohlhabender Universitätsarzt und erzieht seine Sprösslinge streng autoritär. Während er durch seine Arbeit ansonsten nur wenig Zeit für die Kinder hat, kümmert sich seine Frau fast ausschließlich um die Sauberkeit und Ordnung im Haushalt. Schließlich werden die Geschwister zu Außenseitern, die keine Freunde haben, außer PIN. Allerdings ist PIN nur eine medizinische Puppe, die von ihrem Vater durch Bauchreden zum Leben erweckt wird. Während sich die mittlerweile 15-jährige Ursula langsam soziale Kontakte aufbaut, fristet Leon weiterhin ein Außenseiterdasein. Für ihn bleibt PIN der einzige Freund, von dem er sich unter keinen Umständen lösen will. Als sein Vater bemerkt, dass Leons Beziehung zu der Puppe krankhafte Züge annimmt, beschließt er kurzerhand PIN loszuwerden. Doch dann geschieht etwas Furchtbares...
