Plot

[edit]

Penny Morningstar (Anna Favella) is a young and successful art gallery director, while Andy is a failed artist, obsessed with Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol was a serial killer, without piety, who stole people's soul, letting them die slowly. Valerie Solanas, Edie Sedgwick or Jean-Michel Basquiat would probably share this theory, but they cannot do it, because they are all dead. These are not the only suicides connected to the controversial figure of Andy Warhol, or as David Solanas called him, "Mr. America". In the movie Penny is a sort of Andy Warhol. She's beautiful and talented, but she's also evil. When she wants to do something she doesn't care if she hurts people. Every artist of the gallery is in love with her and she will destroy them. Then there's a killer, who thinks to be Andy Warhol and kills all the artists who compose Penny Morningstar's factory.
