action

Eddy changes college and moves into a dorm. Here he has to share the apartment with the macho Stuart. After initial difficulties, they come to terms. One day a new resident moves into the vacant single room in the apartment. After a few days, Stuart and Eddy discover that Alex is a woman who was given the room because the university administration believes her to be a man based on her first name. Attempts to get a new room for Alex fail. They get together and an uncomplicated flat-sharing community is created . However, other feelings also come into play over time. Alex keeps an eye on Eddy while Stuart tries to approach Alex. After an evening together in a bar, Alex tries to seduce Eddy into sex , but Eddy fled at the crucial moment. When he tells Stuart about it, he realizes that the object of his desire is Stuart. Alex is still offended and confronts Eddy. He confesses to her that he feels “sexually indecisive”. But Stuart also realizes that something is wrong with Eddy. Over dinner, the three make a pact: “No sex with one another” is the motto. However, they didn't vow to abstain, so Alex has a date with a young man. However, this is not successful, because the two boys do everything to drive away their new acquaintance. The rematch followed by his foot, a girl brings as Stuart to eat. Alex and Stuart, on the other hand, try to pair Eddy with Richard, without success either.

During a picnic trip, the three friends bathe naked in a lake. They get very close, but are disturbed by a group of children. After this experience everything seems to be different. After an argument between Alex and Eddy, Stuart and Alex have sex.

Eddy analyzes his relationship with Alex as "symbiotic" and a little later decides to have sex with her. Eddy later tells Stuart that he had sex with a woman and that he should not have been that great. Stuart tells Alex, who then confronts Eddy. In the meantime, however, Eddy has come to the conclusion that Stuart must be an uptight gay man . He wants to find out and confronts Stuart when they are both drunk one evening. To justify himself, Stuart tells him he's having sex with Alex. Eddy then runs away. The next day Eddy announced that he wanted to move out. Alex and Stuart won't let that happen. The three of them lie in Alex's bed and they have sex. Eddy tentatively puts his hand on Stuart's body, but pulls it away again. Stuart allows this and puts his hand back. A few weeks later, Alex suspects that she is pregnant. The pregnancy test comes out negative. At the end of the semester, Alex moves into her own apartment. Stuart later also leaves the dormitory and Eddy moves into a single room. They meet by chance at the graduation ceremony and a year later they meet again for dinner, but it's not like it used to be.

criticism

Film critic Roger Ebert thought the film was "pointless". The lexicon of international film sees the film as an "attempt, based on large cinema models, to describe an alternative life plan, which, however, rarely goes beyond surface stimuli."
