ABOUT THE FILM: Comedy. Massey, a Republican delegate to the Republican National Convention, falls into an unlikely affair with a girl he knew in college-Lea, a Liberal who has returned to the city to protest the Republican agenda. Both are political virgins who have surrounded themselves with like-minded colleagues and have never really confronted the "enemy " in the flesh. Meanwhile, Dylan, a former protester who dropped out of the scene after becoming a father, must also confront his dedication to the cause when he is hired as a sign language interpreter for the President's speech at the convention. When he tells his activist friends about the job, they try to convince him to stage a protest during the President's speech instead. The tension builds as Dylan reaches the convention floor itself, takes his place next to the President, while Massey and Lea try and find each other in the chaos outside. What follows will test their beliefs about politics, love and commitment, and will push buttons on both sides of the divide.
