This documentary tells the legendary story of Cynthia Plaster Caster, who has been making and collecting life-size casts of male rock stars' genitalia for over three decades. Framed around Cynthia's recent gallery retrospective at New York's Threadwaxing Space, Plaster Caster covers every angle of Cynthia's story: the very early days of casting classic rock stars like Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding, Eric Burdon, and MC5's Wayne Kramer; her "sponsorship" from Frank Zappa and lawsuit with his manager over the ownership of her casts; her friendship with famous groupie, Pamela Des Barres; and interviews with her recent casting participants and lifelong fans, including the Make Up's Ian Svenonius, the Revolting Cocks' Chris Connelly, Momus, Dead Kennedy's Jello Biafra, the Buzzcocks' Pete Shelly, the Mekons' Jon Langford, Camille Paglia, and many others. Find out what it's like to be one of Cynthia's "castees", as she attempts, on camera, to make new casts of two modern musicians: one a shy indie-rocker, the other an extroverted sleaze-rocker.
