OUT OF SEASON

When Micki Silva struts into beautiful Cape May, New Jersey - all leather jacket, Marlboros, and attitude - - she thinks she knows what to expect. She's there to care for her dying uncle, to forget about her photography career and her ex, and then get out of town as soon as possible. But Micki's in for a few surprises. Uncle Charlie has his own plans in store: to get Micki to settle down with his dear friend Roberta, a conscientious cook harboring some wanderlust of her own. Circling each one warily, the two women gradually begin to woo each other with a passion and ambivalence that will ring true for anyone who has ever thought they needed to run away, only to discover themselves at home when they least expected it.

WHOLE NEW THING

Emerson Thorsen, 13, lives with his parents in their eco-home in the wilds of Nova Scotia. He’s just had his first wet dream and completed writing and illustrating his first book, all 1000 pages of it. Meanwhile, the home-schooled youth can barely add 2 + 2, so his mother enrolls him in the local junior high. There, Emerson’s 42-year-old English teacher, Don Grant, has settled into a life of perpetual adolescence, paying regular visits to a park restroom for anonymous sex. In the classroom, Emerson stirs things up. Surprisingly, Don sees a bit of himself reflected in Emerson. Emerson, initially scornful of his teacher, soon develops his first crush on Don. The precociously confident boy, raised in a household of casual nudity and sexual openness, throws himself into this awakening of his heart with dangerous abandon.
