A woman lives in an apartment with a magical wall (apparently). She is living in the near future where society has somewhat crumbled (apparently).
She is enlisted to adopt (or foster) a teenage girl and the story largely follows this new character henceforth. The teenage girl hooks up with a young man who is (apparently) running an orphanage despite being first depicted as a street hood with bad character. Strange.
There are also some wild children who, for no apparent reason, wear black theatre make-up on their faces and wear cave-man outfits. The man who runs the orphanage tries to bring these wild children back to his orphanage where they cause havoc.
As far as I could tell this was the plot; it was hard to tell because the story was so poorly told it was quite hard to keep track.
This was made in 1981 and set in the future ... why the hell does it look like the early 1970's?? There is virtually nothing to indicate it is supposed to be the future, except that newspapers are strewn across the streets.
And if society has collapsed why then are there police sirens heard and food on the table.
Why did a government agency force the lady to adopt the teenage girl yet there seem to be orphans everywhere not watched over by the state.
I can't even be bothered talking about the magic wall and the interaction with a Victorian-era family. An idiotic distraction from the "plot".
This is a dreary, badly made film. One is not rewarded by sitting through the entire length of it.
