Exotica 1994

Why does the protagonist of this film go to the “Exotica” strip club every day and, for $5, invite the same dancer—dressed as a little girl in a school uniform—to his table? A photograph of a girl in the same uniform hangs in his home, where a babysitter—also a girl, though older—comes to watch over his daughter, who, as it turns out, left this world two years ago—she was murdered.
