Locked out of his apartment, old fashioned writer Giles De’Ath almost reluctantly decides to take in a movie. He goes to the cinema but accidentally wanders in to see Hot Pants College ll, instead of the E. M. Forster adaptation for which he bought a ticket. The sight of a hunky actor, Ronny Bostock, transfixes the lonely man and he sets off to Long Island to seek him out. First-time director Kwietniowski observes the wildly disparate natures of these two men. Starring John Hurt and Jason Priestley.
