Bill Heck portrays “Gabe,” a man who is only now discovering his homosexuality, a realization that comes after he's already gone through a divorce and has a daughter. Meanwhile, “Ernesto” (Marcus DeAnda) faces equally tangled circumstances as his relationship with an ex-boyfriend nears its end; the specter of a former partner lingers in a hospital bed, unconscious following an accident, triggering memories of better days for “Ernesto.” Having had limited success on previous dates, “Gabe” encounters “Ernesto,” and one is left to wonder if either man might find something new. The film manages to spark some energy during its final moments, but the majority of the runtime feels like a drawn-out, artificial drama that piles on misfortune and dark situations in an attempt to portray both men's lives as deeply unhappy, even though they don’t seem to face any significant outside obstacles contributing to this mostly self-created unhappiness. The performances aren’t particularly memorable, nor is the photography, or the writing. After about an hour, I found myself completely disengaged from what was happening to either character. It attempts to explore some of the internal struggles its characters experience, but it feels like a superficial exercise; for something that should have been emotionally resonant, everything comes across as rather lifeless. There’s nothing fresh or innovative here, unfortunately.
