Leo’s best friends are Angie, his straight next door neighbor who can’t seem to find a good man, and his campy buddy Darren, whose real estate agent sort-of-boyfriend (played by Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’s Hugo Weaving) has a fetish for kinky sex at his clients’ houses.
Seeking solace and a change of pace from his lovelorn life, Leo joins an earnest new age men’s group led by a wacky Simon Callow (from Four Weddings and a Funeral). When Leo becomes entangled with another member of the group, supposedly heterosexual and very hunky Brendan, and Leo’s former college girlfriend pays him a visit, everyone begins to question their sexual proclivities and just who their hearts actually desire.
Director Rose Troche, whose first feature film was the lesbian break-out hit Go Fish, has created a playful and insightful high-energy romp in her assured second outing. Director Rose Troche will attend the screening and discuss her work with the audience.
