In an operatic mode, sans dialogue, Finn somewhat erratically unveils the bittersweet saga of Marvin (Michael Rupert), who divorces his wife Trina (Alison Fraser) to be with his male lover Whizzer Brown (Stephen Bogardus). As Marvin's owl-eyed young son Jason (James Kushner) puts it, "My father's a homo/ My mother's not thrilled...
