Rail Passenger (Segment 3: Grasshopper)
Esta coleção de cinco curtas-metragens retrata artisticamente a capacidade do desejo de fortalecer e destruir aqueles que o encontram. Em "The Summer House", a sensual Jane (Talulah Riley) é cortejada por um ex-namorado, Richard (Robert Pattinson), durante o verão caótico de 1969. Outras histórias giram em torno de uma garçonete (Amy Adams) desesperada para resgatar sua filhinha. e um técnico (James Franco) que usa dispositivos para manter as emoções sob controle.
In 1979, disclosing your homosexuality in a small town high school was risky business, especially if you were at the top of the social ladder. Popular and athletic, Hugh struggles with containing his true sexual identity. Outside of school, he attends community meetings of concerned citizens of the local nuclear power plant, where he meets Winston, a slightly older and disabled young man. Hanging out at Winston's place, he safely confides in his distress of a fellow student, Kabold, who is outwardly gay and in deep pain. As the truth's of the power plant are researched together, Hugh struggles with releasing his own truths, until the plant has a general emergency, releasing radiated steam, and he can't keep his sexuality contained any longer.
