Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny & Girly

Four individuals live in a secluded manor and adopt distinct roles—Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny, and Girly—within a ritual called The Game. The house becomes their stage where identity is subsumed into the fantasy of a 'happy' family. The ensemble sets the tone for a tightly controlled, rule-bound world.

Rule No. 1 dictates that everyone must participate and remain in character. The constraints are ill-defined, but the pressure to perform is relentless. The family members become known only by their personas, erasing outside identities.

To fuel The Game, Sonny and Girly venture into populated areas to recruit men back to the manor. The men are indoctrinated into the role of 'New Friends' after being dressed in schoolboy outfits. Those who resist are allegedly 'sent to the Angels' under the guise of punishment.

On a Swinging London night, Sonny and Girly lure a male prostitute and his client to a playground. They murder the woman by tossing her from a large slide. The act is recorded on a 16 mm camera as part of the family’s snuff film collection.

The next morning, the hungover client is manipulated into believing he killed the woman. He is brought back to the manor, where he is reframed as 'New Friend' and forced into scenes of torment. His body is repeatedly shown to remind him that the family has incriminating information.

Mumsy attempts to turn the household against itself by sexual manipulation. New Friend sleeps with Mumsy and then Girly, sparking jealousy and political intrigue within the family.

Being left out of the romantic games, Sonny petitions to be 'sent to the angels'. In a panic, Girly murders Sonny with an antique mirror. Mumsy scolds Girly as 'naughty' and orders New Friend to take care of the body.

Mumsy orders New Friend to bury Sonny beneath a drained fountain on the manor grounds. Makeshift gravestones with numbers marking the dispatched 'New Friends' line the area. The act cements the brutal hierarchy the family enforces.

Nanny, jealous of being excluded from New Friend's attention, attempts to murder Mumsy with acid-tipped needles. Her plan is interrupted by New Friend, thwarting the attack.

Girly retaliates by killing Nanny with an axe. In a shocking image, Nanny's head is seen cooking in a pot, and Mumsy and Girly sing a macabre song about turning a dead head into gingerbread. The moment marks another brutal turn in the family’s ritual.

Mumsy and Girly declare a truce and agree to share New Friend, alternating days for sexual access. They acknowledge that boredom may endanger their arrangement, foreshadowing further manipulation.

As they settle into the new truce, New Friend retrieves Nanny's acid-tipped needles and hides them under Mumsy's pillow. Lying on Mumsy's bed, he awaits a future chance to use them, a chilling reminder that danger remains.
