A man finds himself having to decide between one of two women -- not once, but twice -- in this independent
drama. In 1993,
Coles (
Mark Ruffalo) is a film student at Sarah Lawrence where he meets two fellow undergrads,
Thea (
Kathleen Robertson) and
Sam (
Maya Stange).
Coles and
Sam come together and
Thea fades out of the picture. In time,
Sam tires of
Coles' aimlessly hedonistic attitude, and they break up. Ten years later,
Coles, after a failed career in feature films, is doing animation for an advertising agency and living with his girlfriend,
Claire (
Petra Wright);
Thea helps run a successful restaurant with her husband,
Miles (
David Thornton); and
Sam, smarting from a bad breakup, returns to New York after several years in London.
Coles runs into
Sam and discovers he still has strong feelings for her, but has to decide if they're strong enough to break off his relationship with
Claire.
XX/XY was the first feature film from writer/director
Austin Chick.
