Mark Rappaport's first film explores the relationship between filmmaker and subject, featuring a protagonist named Gerald who is studied from multiple angles. Gerald's philosophical musings suggest a preference for the abstract over the intimate, but he also finds a romantic interest. The film is a black-and-white meditation on art and life, and it's possible that true love may win out for the first and possibly the last time in this unique American independent film.
