<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt">It's Body Awareness Week on
the campus of a small Vermont college and Phyllis, the organizer, and her
partner, Joyce, are hosting a guest artist in their home. Frank, a famous photographer, settles in
along with his portfolio of female nudes.
Phyllis is disgusted by his work and finds it exploitative, but Joyce,
intrigued, contemplates posing for him, threatening their relationship. Meanwhile, Joyce’s grown son Jared continues
to deny his symptoms related to Asperger’s Syndrome. Tensions in the family rise, as Jared turns
to Frank for sexual advice in this domestic comedy.</span></p>
