| Program
Blurb: This humorous parable unfolds over
a weekend in a summer house, where six friends
have been meeting every July for 10 years. With
love, sex, betrayal, and enough surprises, Origin
of the Species uses age-old themes and biological
vocabulary to examine the nature of love and
adulthood. The group's annual skinny-dipping
ritual is gilded with new meaning after this
weekend, and the result of the visit is more
of a shattered innocence than the retreat that
was intended. Light, probing and ultimately
entertaining. |
