Summary

A wealthy debutante finds herself, inadvertently and without her accord, by way of an ancient Eastern European witch's magic curse, in a movie about a girl in the movies ... and yet trying to get out -- all while living two lives, per rules of David Lynchian reality paradigms: one as a nobody in suburban America, possibly a part-time prostitute, just trying to get by; and one as a nobody in Eastern Europe, again possibly a prostitute (and all the while watching some strange sit-com / soap-opera / talk-show about rabbits, or humanoid-rabbits, with an awful, chilling laugh track), just trying to get by -- until she later discovers that we are all in the movies, and that Hollywood is indeed the end of the Yellow Brick Road, and that the laugh track that we hear is all in our minds; and that at the same time there is the Sinister and Evil aspect behind the whole drama being the knowledge now gained: that everyone is a prostitute in some weird way, just trying to get by.
