Synopsis:
about eating disorders and family secrets. Was produced for "adult" audiences but would actually be a good TIE piece. There's a bit of searing in it but this might not be the problem it was when it was produced in 1985. Easily cleaned up. ADELE lives in two worlds, One, her secret, a sensitive world of deep self-hatred, compels her to eat compulsively. The other, the outside world, is fraught with expectation and peer group pressure. Two weapons help Adele survive in this enemy zone; her smart mouth and her drop-dead gorgeous friend, MARY. Mary, full of snappy, new-age speak, urges Adele to confront her demons. Adele's demons are more than snappy. They're voracious. The girl has courage though and she does indeed confront her demons. A sense of self-worth is her reward.
