Synopsis
Kurt Voelker has a gem of a film for his second feature. In this comedy of errors set during one afternoon in Los Angeles, the distraught April (Dagney Kerry) heads to the local park intent on suicide, but hasn't really thought out a perfect plan.

The driver of a pet-grooming van, Ian (David Fenner), is consumed with lust towards his co-worker, Krysta (Izabella Miko), and throws a wrench into April's quest. However, Krysta has planned a tryst with her sleazy lover, attorney Dennis (William Baldwin). Dennis's wife, Peggy (Ricki Lake), suspects his affair so she and her friend Claire (Cheri Oteri) follow him to catch him in the act.

Then there's Nathan (Trent Ford) and his friend Babar (Maulik Pancholy), who attempt to convince Meredith (Anne Dudek) and Sheryl (Melanie LynsKey) to adopt their nudist lifestyle.

The antics of the afternoon in the park leave some with surprising fulfilment and others with unexpected disappointment.

The soundtrack includes Nick Kershaw, Spearhead, Nina Simone, Indigo Girls and Loverboy.
