RomanceComedy

Lake is in a straight relationship with Desiree but finds himself becoming attracted to men at the pool. When he cannot control his desires any longer, he starts working at an adult home and begins a relationship with a much, much older man.

VIBE

This film feels like an uncomfortable exploration of forbidden attraction. It’s a quiet, character-driven piece that delves into unconventional desires with a matter-of-fact, almost detached, observational tone.
