I'm really confused at this film. The entire thing seems to be the male gym coach teaching his
High school students "How a 19th Century gentleman would give his child-bride a bath" -- with the 12 year-old girl he's demonstrating on being either half asleep or drugged.
The presentation is broken up only when the coach demonstrates to his students the use of an electric drill - and chooses
the wall into the girls locker room as a work surface.
I don't think many parents will appreciate his frequent use of the words "mother fucker" or the occasional pressing of his "what-the-man-has" into the cameras' lens.
