Ask anyone what they want, and they will give you a variety of answers. Probe a little deeper, especially with twinks, and they will most likely tell you that what they want most is love. Intimacy. Someone to connect with and share their passions. Of course, there will always be those that want just a little more. Like Chris Summers, Zack Love, Timber Harvest, Marcus Tresor, Justin Stone, and Anton Marceau. Yes, they want to love. They want intimacy. And they definitely want to share their passion. But what they want most? Raw, hardcore, primal sex with just a touch of romantic sensuality. Fucking beautiful.

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.

In post-9/11 New York City, an eclectic group of citizens find their lives entangled, personally, romantically, and sexually, at Shortbus, an underground Brooklyn salon infamous for its blend of art, music, politics, and carnality.
