Confounded by his lover's infidelity a week before their commitment ceremony, Gray, a young student-filmmaker, sets out to document his friends' views on relationships for his graduate thesis film. With captivating candor, the characters speak directly to the camera and reveal the secrets of their relationships (or lack thereof). The cinema-verité portrait of these humorous, straight-talking San Franciscans (lesbian, gay, and straight) is interwoven with the engaging drama of Gray's own experiences. "Add an unglamorous but appealing cast and a wicked sense of humor, and you've got a film that pleases its audience without pandering to it" (Outfest '99 Catalogue).
