While art-school rejections pour in, gay painter Andrew (Alexis Arquette) looks for love and ponders a trip to Africa. Meanwhile, his lesbian pal Lucy (Georgia Ragsdale) bickers with her girlfriend, and his actress mom (Margot Kidder) takes a journey of self-discovery in this coming-of-age drama. Writer-director Stephen Kijak’s feature debut won awards for screenwriting and acting (for Arquette) at the 1997 L.A. Outfest film festival.
