A chance meeting brings a nearly perfect couple together in L.A., except that he's gay and she's not. Compounding this is that he suffers OCD. As he house sits and she struggles to be accepted as an actress, their otherwise rightness is obvious, but friends - especially those in the gay community - believe in clear lines of sexuality being drawn. —statmanjeff

Trivia
Writer/director/star James Sweeney had the idea for this film's topic from a college class about LGBT history that examined "gayness" as a political identity and how that can be somewhat limiting in terms of the sexuality spectrum.

8/10

So so cute

There's defínete something special about this film. You don't see this everyday. A normal story that gets into the complexity of regular life. From the way it was shot, and the heavy dialogues and mise en scéne.
