Plot: 'Jun and Delores' offers a voyeuristic glimpse into the life of an isolated woman attempting to escape her loneliness using the oldest trick in the book: her body. After using a pathetic lie to get a stranger into her apartment, Delores' meager attempt at seduction become transparent. What started out as a real life attempt at a Hollywood fantasy becomes a drawn out and tense moment in time. What transpires is a classic Noble Savage and Damsel in Distress scenario. This man isn't from Delores' white-bred world of romantic sitcoms and Coca Cola, and, as her fantasy unravels, we have to wonder what her guest is really capable of. Our only guarantee is that it isn't what Delores bargained for.

He made me promise.::[pause]::Becky: She must have treated you real bad.::Henry: She was a whore. My mama was a whore. But I don't fault her for that. It ain't what she done, but how she done it. Long as I can remember, she'd bring men up to the house. My daddy was there too, but it didn't matter none to her. She'd make me watch.::Becky: That's creepy.::Henry: She'd beat me too. A lot. She'd beat me when I wouldn't watch it. And sometimes she'd beat me, and make me wear a dress, and watch her doin' it. Then they'd laugh at me.::Becky: She made you wear a dress?::Henry: You think I'm lyin?::Becky: I feel like I know you, like I've known you for a long time.
