Stiletto

Synopsis

A film about the susceptibility of young males to ferocity, Stiletto focuses on 11 year old Conrad who is grappling with a dawning awareness of the adult world. Abandoned by his mother, Conrad's aunt intrudes on his life, turning his bedroom into an office for her growing mail order business. She sells stiletto heels in men's sizes. Unable to deal with his feelings, Conrad sets a trap and she discovers an undeserved fate.
