Acid attacks, stabbings, hijinks and debauchery, it’s all going down in liberal London... Meet Max, a cross-dressing prison librarian, who becomes obsessed with an inmate called Vic, who is on remand for a murder he didn’t commit. Upon conviction Max assists in Vic’s escape and they, along with Vic’s girlfriend, Kelly - who Max disfigures in a particularly horrific way - flee to Venice, where a bizarre bond between the three begins to grow, and where Max’s obsession is finally resolved.By turns humorous, shocking, subversive and sublime, Transmission is a cautionary tale that you cannot do whatever you like without consequence. Western civilization isn’t for everyone.
