Screenplay
The title is taken from the song Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure, which in turn is based on the book Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer.
The film is a "mysterious and erotic" romance, exploring the kinds of love for which there are no names or clear arrangements.
Michael (Michael Idemoto) is a reclusive auto mechanic captivated by a woman known as Charlotte or Darcy (Jacqueline Kim). She is an enigmatic drifter. Lori (Eugenia Yuan) is Michael's tenant and best friend. Lori has a live-in boyfriend, Justin (Matt Westmore), but may hold the key to Michael's heart.
When the two women in Michael's life meet face to face, Michael is forced to choose between a daring tryst with an alluring stranger, and the habitual comfort of his bittersweet obsession.
