filmed in 1988, about a family who is brought up and tought lessons of both health and the body by their plastic friend named Pin. An anatomicaly correct model of the human body; Pin sits in dr. Linden's office and talks to both Leon and ursula about problems while growing up, but only when they're father is around. Good job dad; setting up you're kids with the pure belief of a friend who talks about getting cold from being naked all the time... who's a model of the human body, way to traumatize you're younger ones. Luckily for him it only affects Leon, who goes to Pin later on in his teenage years and without the help of his father, shows his sister Pin could talk back on his own. The look of fright in her face was awesome as she slowly turned to him and asked "When did you learn to do that?" Though there is about a cup full of blood in this movie, and virtually no one dies, the shock value actually bumps this film up to a decent/worth watching flick. Guess sometimes you need the right setting; no one home with the lights off and no way of seeing what is lurking behind you. Anyway, watching the slow slip of the man in front of you into a bi-polar nutcase with a single friend of which whom he painted over to look disturbingly real is time well well spent. For me nothing dragged out becuase of that, becuase in the little instances of boring dialouge, someone would say something not nice about Pin and he would snap. Knowing that Leon is that far gone; that he really thinks a total of three people live in the house must be a hard thing to swallow. Especially when your own brother threatnes to kick you out if you don't accept the fact that Pin is there to stay.
PIN: Have you heard from Leon?
Ursula Linden: No.
PIN: I miss him a great deal.
Ursula Linden: [camera pans down to reveal Leon has become Pin and Ursula begins to cry] So do I.
