Leap Year, is director Michael Rowes first feature film. Set in one room, with only three speaking parts, it is a character study of loneliness. Although she rarely leaves home, Laura lies to her family about having a great social life. She is counting down the days of January, sometimes picking up men to make the time go by. Arturo is the only man that actually comes back. The two slowly get involved in a strange relationship based on violent sex, Arturo asking questions about Laura's life, and hours of watching TV. Leap Year is truly an obscure, and sometimes unpleasant, journey to the heart of the innermost darkness. red
