autoerotica

"autoerotica" is a story of love, procrastination and automobiles. Jake and Gord are the kind of “guys” who cling to their adolescence like drowning men to a piece of wood. They cruise the city in the car known as Sheena, Jake’s personal metaphor of freedom, a (rusting, gas guzzling) icon of his youth, their conversations cycling back through women of the past and speculations about women of the future while Jake looks for ways to avoid moving in with his girlfriend Molly. Meanwhile, in another part of the jungle, Molly decides to cure Jake of his autoerotica.
