Finding North (1998)
Eigentlich will sich Travis gerade von der Brooklyn Bridge stürzen, da ist er plötzlich auf einem turbulenten Trip quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten. Das Ziel: Denton, Texas. Der Auftrag: Seinen verstorbenen Lover Bobby mit dieser Reise den letzten Wunsch zu erfüllen. Noch kann Travis kaum begreifen, wie das alles passieren konnte, aber irgendwie befindet er sich in Begleitung einer praktisch Unbekannten. Diese Nervensäge im Plüsch-Look heißt Rhonda, ist fest davon überzeugt, ihn "retten" zu müssen und begreift noch nicht mal, dass er schwul ist! Aber nachdem die Fronten geklärt sind, beschließen die einsamen Helden letztendlich doch, gemeinsam weiterzuziehen. Zum Schrecken der erzkonservativen Texaner, die bei so offenen Bekenntnissen wie "Nein, wir sind nicht verheiratet. Sie müssen wissen, er ist schwul..." ganz schön ins Schwitzen kommen!
