Plot
Brian and Bryan are strangers who hook up for an evening of uninhibited and unsafe sex. Afterward, the two spend the entire evening talking, arguing about everything from sexual identity to gay life to bisexuality to philosophy. Ultimately, AIDS becomes the prime topic of the evening. Though all of the sex occurs off screen, the sex-oriented discussions between the two are quite explicit. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
