Plots(1)
Alex Truelove (Daniel Doheny) is on a quest to lose his virginity, an event eagerly awaited by his patient girlfriend and cheered on with welcome advice by his rowdy friends. But Alex, a super gregarious dude, is oddly unmotivated. A magical house party featuring a lickable psychedelic frog and a lot of Skittles throws Alex into the presence of Elliot (Antonio Marziale), a hunky college guy, who pegs Alex as gay and flirts hard. Alex is taken aback but after a series of setbacks on the girlfriend front he takes the plunge and learns some interesting new facts about himself. The next steps are tough on Alex and form both the emotional core of the film and provide a teaching moment about how the "coming out" film has evolved as society has changed in its attitude towards homosexuality.
