Description

Written, directed by and starring Marianna Palka, GOOD DICK is an unexpected love story about a lonely girl and the persistent video store clerk (JASON RITTER) who is determined to make her fall in love with him. His persistence draws her out of her claustrophobic world by pursuing a courtship with her. As they become closer, her sexual antipathy is met with his unflinching optimism, until finally her aggressive defenses overwhelm them both. Profoundly affected by his presence in her life, she finds the courage to face her past.
