Synopsis

This is a summer memoir of two personal intertwined love affairs; one with Salisbury Beach and the other with a strange and charming drifter the filmmaker met randomly through a friend. It is highlighted by melodramatic journal entries from his teenage years lamenting the difficulties of a homosexual life and ultimately exposing a deeply rooted internalized homophobia that kept him fumbling though uncertain places and relationships.
