Jonas Åkerlund [Spun] directed Metallica's music video "Turn The Page". He extended and re-edited the story in that video clip into a short film. Ginger Lynn plays the night club stripper/prostitute who is trying to raise her 12 year old daughter. We watch them going thru the routine of an average day in their lives. We hear the story [narrated]both from the daughter's point of view and her mother's. The mother who is pushing 40 says she always wanted to be rock star. Her daughter indistinctly and unconsciously questions her mother's way of raising her. For instance, she says things like: "my mother tells me that I should never start smoking but she smokes a lot" while her mother is smoking as her daughter is asleep or "my mother tells me not to watch a lot of TV because there is too much garbage on TV but she just watches TV more than I do." Ginger Lynn's acting is quite good. Her striptease in the bar and the brutal sex she had to suffer at the end of the movie are among the most memorable scenes of the movie.
