Cicada (DVD) Peccadillo Pictures

In the sultry heat of a New York summer, Ben (Matt Fifer) drifts from one unfulfilling hook-up to the next with encounters barely making it to the next morning. When he picks up the handsome Sam (Sheldon D. Brown) a connection sparks between the two men that hints at something more than just another casual sexual liaison. As the intensity of their relationship grows, each begin to recognise the need to confront the scars of their past if they are to truly let the other person in. Examining themes of sexuality, race and identity with grace and uncompromising honesty, CICADA is an affecting and resonant romantic drama.
