Orphans remain in the care of their stepfather, with whom they have a conflict, which ends in a fight with the use of weapons. Doll's sister dies, and the main character herself escapes to hide among the graves. Not far from her mother’s burial, the police discover her.
The girl, pumped up with sedatives, takes her stepfather to a psychiatric hospital. He forges documents so that she gets a lobotomy. The head physician is against such drastic measures, but her signature agrees to fake a nurse. Dolly discovers that a specialist in such operations will reach the hospital a few days later.
Imaginary world
After that, the narrative develops in the inner world of the Pupa. In her imagination, the hospital turns into a brothel, in which girls are forced to entertain guests with erotic dances. The doll finds 4 more girls who are in a similar position.
The owner of the brothel wants to sell their virginity to an unknown major. The local choreographer makes her demonstrate her skills. During the performance, she moves to a fantasy world that resembles feudal Japan. Then she meets the Sage, who tells her that an escape is possible. But for this she needs to get 5 items - this is fire, a card, a key, a knife and an unknown fifth element, which is conventionally called the "great sacrifice." The sage hands her a gun and a sword, ordering her to go to battle with the three samurai demons. In reality, Dolly danced in the hospital, amazing everyone around her.
She tells her new friends about the escape plan. She convinces them to join. The first item is a card, which is located in the office of the owner of the brothel. While the Doll distracts him with another dance, Cutie sneaks into the office, making a copy of the treasured card. During the performance, she presents herself in a non-existent world - at the front during the First World War.
Five items
The next item they need to get is fire. The girls decide to kidnap the lighter of the mayor, who is invited to watch the Dolls dance. The mayor is fascinated by her dance, and when the girl finds herself in the next imaginary world, the Sage gives her the following task - to get fire stones.
Girls find themselves in a castle filled with orcs. At this time, he was stormed by the knights. Inside the castle, the Doll discovers a young dragon, she kills him, taking out the very required stones from the wound. Suddenly, the mother of the dragon appears, trying to destroy the killers of her cub. She tries to destroy the Doll, but in response, she destroys her.
The owner of the brothel realizes that the girls are plotting something against him, moreover, he suspects them of copying the map and stealing a lighter. He threatens them, demanding that they abandon the escape plan before it is too late. Madame Gorsky finds a crying blondie who talks to her about an upcoming escape.
Knife
The next item they need to get is a knife. The girls go after him to the kitchen. In a new fantasy world, they have to catch up with a train carrying a thermonuclear bomb. Moreover, it is guarded by robots, and the shell must also be neutralized. Otherwise, the city to which the train follows will be destroyed.
Suddenly, things are not going according to plan. The radio on which the music plays is malfunctioning, because of this the cook notices that Cutie wants to steal a knife. In response, he hits her with another knife. At the last moment, the Rocket closes it with itself and takes a mortal blow. The girl dies, and in the world with the train on which the thermonuclear bomb travels, the Rocket sacrifices itself, exploding with the shell.
As a result, the escape manages to disrupt. The brothel master locks Cutie, and Blondie and Amber shoots. After that, Blue himself tries to rape the Doll, depriving her of virginity. But she inflicts a wound on him with a stolen knife, and tears the coveted key from her neck.
The doll gives freedom to her friend using a lighter, with which she starts a fire. He distracts the guards. They make their way to the street, where a group of bandits awaits them. The doll realizes that this is Cutie's escape. Therefore, the last artifact is herself. She manages to distract the villains herself, and Cutie quietly escapes, sacrificing herself. In this case, she receives a blow from one of the bandits, and in the hospital she is just doing a lobotomy.
Denouement
In reality, the doctor finishes the lobotomy, and marvels at the patient's reasonable gaze before anesthesia. He understands that, in fact, he ruined the personality of a perfectly normal person. She was conscious and sober memory, and not a hopeless and dangerous maniac.
The chief doctor adds that the patient delivered a ton of trouble to the clinic in just one week of her stay. In the real world, she wounded a nurse with a knife, helped one of the patients escape, and started a fire. In addition, she adds that she herself would never refer the patient to such a dangerous and meaningless, in her opinion, operation.
The orderly, whom the Doll actually hurt, believes that after the lobotomy, the Doll will belong to him. He takes her to an empty room, locking the door behind him. He is going to rape the girl, taking advantage of her vegetative state. But he begins a nervous breakdown. At this time, the head physician discovers that her signature on the medical record for the prescription for lobotomy is falsified, she calls the police officers who detain Blu.
At this time, Cutie gets to the bus station. During the landing, the police try to detain her, but she is saved by the driver, who turns out to be a Sage from the world of dolls fantasies. She tells the police that the girl sat on the bus all day, which means she is not the one they are looking for. When law enforcement officers leave, Cutie admits that she does not have a ticket. The sage explains to her that this is not a problem, and goes with her into the sunset.
The debate about the meaning of the film "Forbidden Reception" continues to this day. Some believe that the plot design of the picture itself is already a prohibited technique. But the real reality is a brothel, not a psychiatric hospital.
