A gay poet heads west from New York City in his convertible. He picks up a muscular sailor who's bisexual; then Jackie, a waitress at a diner, joins them. Jackie is attracted to the poet who rebuffs her romantic gestures; rejection fuels her continued interest in him. The sailor and the poet are bonded by sex, but the sailor's frank advances to Jackie make him uninteresting to her. The sailor can get violent, the poet is passive, Jackie is glamorous and detached. The landscape changes, they stop in cities and in the desert. They reach a lake. Who will be left out of a final pairing?

In the great tradition of Jack Kerouac, this film takes a cross-country journey by automobile. With his European poet mentality, the narrator picks up some riders along the way. With next to no budget, this film manages to create a sense of the 1950s America with style, choice of settings, and a jazzy film score. Indeed, this does seem to be a version of On the Road, with faithful ambiance and style. It more than rivals longer, flashier, depictions done with stars, violence, and more than a passing appeal to the pop culture the original bohemians rebelled against. This is a thoughtful film for the cineaste or those interested in character and psychology. I presume that makes it an "art" film in this age of cartoon-based philosophy.
This is another of those "art-films". It tells a story, very slowly, with few plot points and no discernable reason for being made into a film. It has the feel of an overly long, less well made, version of a Calvin Klein Obsession commercial.
