Flyfishing
Synopsis
Two men become escorts. Their debts diminish. Their problems mount.
And their lives fall to pieces. Flyfishing combines the oldest profession in the world with time-honored truths of love - that it hurts, that there is someone for everyone and that no matter what the odds, true love conquers all. The result is the most unlikely of fairy tales. A romantic comedy without a trace of sentiment.
And a cinematic first closing frame!
