Brooklyn, verano de 1987. Un grupo de personas frecuenta el estanco de su barrio. Auggie Wren (Harvey Keitel), el estanquero, es el gran confidente de todos ellos. La rocambolesca historia de cómo consiguió su cámara fotográfica y de por qué se decidió a elaborar su singular colección de fotografías -el mismo encuadre de la casa de enfrente a lo largo de 14 años- le dará por fin un argumento a Paul Benjamin (William Hurt), prestigioso novelista en crisis. Paul, a su vez, ayudará a Rashid (Harold Perrineaud Jr.), un adolescente negro algo desorientado, en la búsqueda de su padre, que resulta ser un modesto mecánico (Whitaker) que intenta rehacer su vida.

The line between sexual consent and sexual coercion is not always as clear as it seems -- and according to Harry Brod, this is exactly why we should approach our sexual interactions with great care. Brod, a professor of philosophy and leader in the pro-feminist men's movement, offers a unique take on the problem of sexual assault, one that complicates the issue even as it clarifies the bottom-line principle that consent must always be explicitly granted, never simply assumed. In a nonthreatening, non-hectoring discussion that ranges from the meanings of "yes" and "no" to the indeterminacy of silence to the way alcohol affects our ethical responsibilities, Brod challenges young people to envision a model of sexual interaction that is most erotic precisely when it is most thoughtful and empathetic.
