O’Quinn’s son David Hewlett loves Pin as much as anyone can love an inanimate object–until he witnesses his father’s nurse simulating a sex act with the dummy. This traumatic experience is the first step in Hewlett’s mental and emotional disintegration. The film then ventures in Psycho territory, so perhaps it’s best not to reveal any more., A schizophrenic man has it in for his sister’s boyfriend., Meet PIN, a harmless mute and life-less fantasy in little Leon’s mind.
