Jo Jo Dancer (1986)
Aunque Jo Jo Dancer ha alcanzado el éxito como monologuista, no ha encontrado la felicidad. Tras sufrir quemaduras graves en un incidente relacionado con las drogas, Jo Jo permanece en coma y, en este estado, reflexiona sobre su vida. Sumido en recuerdos de su infancia problemática, Jo Jo revive su juventud, rememorando su ascenso a la fama y la decadencia que le siguió. Al considerar su existencia, debe decidir si quiere seguir viviendo o no.
