Scenes
A young man is intimidated by seeing his father urinate, because his father has an enormous penis. According to an interview with director Guy Maddin, a male prostitute was hired to pee in a bathtub for this scene. Maddin filmed his penis from close range, getting sprayed slightly in the process! However, there wasn't enough back-lighting to show the pee stream very well.
