This is a time of transition and change for Richard, and despite his easy manner and outward confidence, he is sensitive to the shifts occurring around him. He is serious about retaining his friendships and preserving the ideals that have become important to him during his time at school. 

 

 

A new relationship with Lara, a friend of a friend that he meets at a beach party, seems to offer Richard the sort of mature relationship that he’s yearning for. Yet he can’t help but pick away at Lara’s imperfections and the relationship challenges him as much as it thrills him.

During these long easy summer days, Richard’s sense of self seems to slip and a minor row turns into a fight that pushes him over the edge.
