Clean, Shaven

is one of the most impressive independent films to be made in the USA in the last year. The film portrays a schizophrenic man who undertakes a tortured quest for his daughter. Plagued by hallucinations, this Peter Winter flees into an obscure, violent past and returns to his birthplace to realise there with shock that his daughter Nicole is kept away from him. He sets out to look for her and from that moment on his world becomes increasingly chaotic and destructive. He tries desperately to remain calm, and eventually finds his daughter, but the reunion is far from happy. Ingeniously filmed and edited, is a shocking story of what happens in the head of a schizophrenic.
