Kathy Harrington [Laura Lazare] is a junior at Bristol State University. Kathy
is also beautiful and pursuing an L.A.S. degree in Journalism. She gets a job as
a night clerk in a motel so that she can get extra money and also gather
material for her writing.
Through Kathy?s wandering eyes, the audience
can explore the physical pleasures of those who pass through the motel doors. At
times even Kathy is tempted to succumb to a moment of heated passion, but her
strict Ohio upbringing will not allow her to respond.
And so the stage is
set for ?Purely Physical,? a film that captures people overpowered by the
feeling of a sudden wanting, an out of the way motel and the press of time that
makes love so intense.
