Jotham Lotring's "Night Ride" reveals the subtle erotics possible on a
cross-country bus trip, and Christopher Monteriano filters the effects of
family friendships on a delicately blossoming love affair with a 15-year-
old. In Mark Derby's "Not Again," a schoolboy stigmatized for one same-sex
attraction finds in his next relationship with a boy the strength to stand
up to an abusive teacher.
