Todd Verow directed, shot and edited this moving human drama, based on a true story. Israeli actor Gil Bar Sela plays the main character, after successfully graduating from Circle in the Square and starring in the Off-Broadway comedy Chicken Delight for two years. Joe from Bangor, Texas arrives at the big city to become an art student. When he first enters his room at the student dorms he finds himself in an orgy. His next encounter is with an art student called Jennifer, part of whose hobbies is stealing books from the library and gossip. The encounter which will change Joe's life, however, is with a hustler (Gil Bar-Sela). The two embark on an impossible, tragic love story.
