Four

On the Fourth of July in an American suburb, a young man named June meets up with Joe, a closeted, married college professor that he’s met over the Internet. On the same night, in the same city, this man’s sixteen-year-old daughter agrees to go out with Dexter, a low-level drug dealer. In and around their town, on the American night of independence, these two couples get to know each other, moving from strangers to intimates. In lonely landscapes of movie theaters, fast food restaurants, darkened churches and public parks, they discover the limits of desire and the possibilities for transcendence.
