Neptune's Rocking Horse

Running time: 100 mins

Cinequest proudly presents Neptune's Rocking Horse as our Out Fest at Cinequest event. Five strangers are united when a drag queen is arrested one morning in New York City. Each walks away with a singular perspective. The arrest, which most might quickly forget, haunts these tragic figures and profoundly changes their lives. As the day progresses, they invite the drag queen into their psyche and take a cold hard look at who they are. The characters long to fill their lives with something else, and it is not until an amateur palm reader helps them that they seem to find a ''balanced life.'' Paths cross throughout the film and eventually a confrontation ensues they would never have otherwise experienced. Neptune's Rocking Horse is an intriguing examination about who we really are. What is most interesting about this film is how it deals with the perceptions of homosexuality and asks the question, ''What is gay?'' --Chris Lion
