Can a cynical lesbian from the Big Apple find happiness with an upbeat blonde from the West Coast? That's the question in this independent bicoastal comedy.
Rachel (
Helen Lesnick, who also wrote and directed the film) is a native New Yorker who, after an unpleasant breakup with her girlfriend (
Michele Greene), decides she needs a change of scenery.
Rachel packs her bags and moves to San Diego, where she has a bit of trouble adapting to the laid-back rhythms of the California lifestyle; she also discovers that getting her career as a freelance writer going again is harder than she expected. After several bad dates,
Rachel meets
Christine (
Erica Shaffer), and
Rachel thinks she may have finally found love at last. But after her last relationship,
Rachel finds that trusting anyone unconditionally no longer comes naturally.
A Family Affair was screened at
the 2001 L.A. Outfest, a festival devoted to gay and lesbian-themed films.
