Abuse (1983)
De tiener Thomas wordt op brute wijze misbruikt door zijn ouders en vindt troost in de omgang met een filmregisseur die een documentaire maakt over fysiek kindermisbruik. De twee worden verliefd en de oudste wordt geconfronteerd met de beslissing om ofwel met Thomas weg te rennen, ofwel zich op zijn carrière te concentreren en daardoor de jongen mogelijk dood te laten slaan.
