When Californian-Resident Dylan is unsatisfied by the sporadic visits from his Arizonian boyfriend, Ken, he flies to Phoenix to surprise and relieve him from the stress of work. Dylan receives a startling surprise when he meets Demetrius, Ken's husband of 7 years. In the wake of Ken's eery disappearance from both California and Arizona, the two stilted lovers learn to get over Ken and end up developing a relationship of their own.
It was not the ultra low budget or awkward acting and chemistry that made this film a struggle to watch. It was mainly the characters. Dylan is a young guy that wants to commit to someone. When Ken disappears, he moves on to Demetrius as if Ken was just a distant memory. This is hard to deem as realistic when ten scenes prior (translating to about four days prior in the plot) he was stating his undying love for a man he sees 9 days a month. While this may be an homage to Antonioni's L'Avventura trilogy, it lacks the intrigue that Antonioni brings to cinema. I promised myself I wouldn't write for more than 5 minutes on this movie. . .I succeeded. I wrote only 4 minutes.
