影片中首先安排了母亲和女儿两个女性角色和作为男性的父亲。父亲让女儿躲在琴盒里看父母交媾，然后他又让母亲躲进去看他和女儿交媾。母女二人的角色互换，甚至每个人都不明白自己是谁。之后两个人便产生了嫉妒和仇恨，以至于最后女儿杀害母亲。然后又出现了一个妙子，她的出现使得时空交错的故事更加扑朔迷离。她的身份是一位坐在轮椅上的作家，她写的故事就是上面提到的一家人的故事。在出版社，她遇到了一个叫雄二的年轻人，她称他为“机器人”，他们两人似乎要产生更加微妙的关系。事实上，妙子的腿根本没有瘸，她人为制造了一种形式上的双重人格。雄二也是个怪癖者，他参加了一个以破坏自己的身体为乐的PARTY，但是导演并没有过早的让观众知道他身体上的伤。之后，雄二终于展示了自己，他割去了乳房。那么“他”便可能是妙子的另一种人格的载体。故事在真实和梦幻，过去和现在之间穿梭，不管是故事中的人还是观众根本没办法去理性的分析哪是实的，哪是虚的。雄二把前面提到的父亲砍去了四肢，尽情的虐待。影片的开头是一个马戏团的表演，这个表演一直穿插在影片中，影片最后仍然是以舞台结束。演员拿去面具，原来是父亲，他让女儿（或者妈妈）上的断头台，故事以死亡结束。

In 1976, Karen and Barry Mason had fallen on hard times and were looking for a way to support their young family when they answered an ad in the Los Angeles Times. Larry Flynt was seeking distributors for Hustler Magazine. What was expected to be a brief sideline led to their becoming fully immersed in the LGBT community as they took over a local store, Circus of Books. A decade later, they had become the biggest distributors of gay porn in the US. The film focuses on the double life they led, trying to maintain the balance of being parents at a time when LGBT culture was not yet accepted. Their many challenges included facing jail time for a federal obscenity prosecution and enabling their store to be a place of refuge at the height of the AIDS crisis. Circus of Books offers a rare glimpse into an untold chapter of queer history, and it is told through the lense of the owners' own daughter, Rachel Mason, an artist, filmmaker and musician.
