The voice over intro sets the stage: Christian's brother Cole is coming to Columbia, too, because "he's just had a manic episode from a bad break up." Manic is the upside of bi-polar. Depressiveness is the downside. Bi-polar is a serious mental illness.
Ivan is admittedly self-loathing, having affair after affair with unavailable straight men.
The surrounding characters are full of joy, esp the gender fluid one. But we don't get very far into their psyches.
It's a bad mix from the start, but the sexual tension is well portrayed and we can't help but watch the proverbial train wreck.
The ending left me feeling as though they deserve each other. Pathetic tropes both in desperate need of therapy and a supportive community.
