"The Grass Is Always Greener on the Other Side"

Watch:

What You Need To Know:

Part character study and part mystery, QUID PRO QUO is a strange but compelling story about the handicapped and people who envy them. It has some strong negative content in it, however. Isaac Knott is a talk show host for a public radio station in New York City. An anonymous tip from someone calling herself Ancient Chinese Girl turns Isaac onto a rumor about a person asking a hospital doctor to amputate his legs. Another tip leads Isaac to a secret group of normal people who pretend they are handicapped. Finally, the Ancient Chinese Girl reveals herself. She is a beautiful blonde named Fiona, who confesses to Isaac that she is a handicapped “wannabe.” Isaac and Fiona begin a torrid relationship. Then Isaac buys a pair of old-fashioned shoes that enable him to walk when he wears them. More fantastic revelations follow.

Strangely compelling, QUID PRO QUO is a story about the grass always being greener on the other side. The twists in the story reveal hidden layers within the two lead characters. Regrettably, the movie contains some strong foul language and strong sexual content that guarantees a low box office.
