Leila (Lauren Lee Smith) is a sexually voracious young woman who connects with men through sex. When she meets David (Eric Balfour) one night at a party, sparks fly. Later, she initiates casual sex with a stranger outside, where David and his girlfriend can see them. Their eyes lock, beginning a courtship ritual that initiates their own sexual affair. Leila and David get to know each other - which means being intimate - in bed, on the roof, in the park, everywhere. For them and other members of their generation, sex is communication - and power. When Leila realizes her attraction to David is deeper than anything she has ever experienced, he retreats. Her explosive reaction knows no bounds. Now they must conquer their demons in order to move beyond the purely physical...and satisfy the emotional connection they unknowingly crave.
My Comments:
An attempt to hybridize erotica and poignant social commentary that fails to be either poignant or particularly erotic.
