Consensus: Critics say Cleopatra's Second Husband is unappetizing to watch and moves too slowly. Also, you don't care what happens to the characters.

A lonely, weak-willed photographer, Robert gives in to everyone's desires except his own. His domineering wife Hallie (Bitty Schram) has literally commandeered their love life with dispassionate sex strategically scheduled to her ovulation cycle. Obsessed with the ticking of her biological clock, Hallie plans an extended country getaway for two, and now only needs someone to take care of the fish and the dog.

Friends of friends and new to Los Angeles, the charismatic Zack (Boyd Kestner) and his sensual girlfriend Sophie (Radha Mitchell) arrive to housesit, greeted by a suspicious Robert and an overruling Hallie. The two repair to the country, only to cut their holiday short when Robert receives an offer to publish his work in an influential photo magazine.

Back at home though, things aren't quite the same. Zack and Sophie seem to have taken over their home in nefarious, irresponsible, even cruel ways. Adding insult to injury, they ask if they can stay a few days longer, since they've yet to find an apartment. Hallie agrees, despite Robert's protest.

Sucked into the machinations of the three people living in his house, Robert is first seduced by the erotically perverse Sophie. Hallie discovers the dalliance and flees. With her gone, Robert agrees to let Zack and Sophie stay to assuage his loneliness, giving them control of everything; his food, his bedroom, his credit cards, practically his entire identity. Even Sophie cannot stand how far the arrangement goes, and she too leaves.

Now it's just Robert and Zack, Zack abusing their relationship at every turn. Until one day Robert, driven to the darkest edge of his psyche, gets an idea. Before this all began, he'd been planning an innovative photography project involving captured insects. But now he's got another, more fascinating subject in mind. [More]
