The story

What Is What About Dick? About?

The premise of What About Dick? without spoilers.

This bizarre and surreal film follows the decline of the British Empire as narrated by a piano. Beginning with the unlikely birth of a sex toy in 1898, the story unfolds through the lives of Dick and his cousins – Emma, a troubled young woman, and her kleptomaniac sister Helena. They reside with their eccentric, dipsomaniac Aunt Maggie within a sprawling Edwardian home. A pivotal discovery by the Reverend Whoopsie sets in motion a chain of events that require the intervention of a private detective, the enigmatic Inspector McGuffin, and his Sergeant Ken Russell, to solve the mystery of the Houndsditch Mutilator.
