Synopsis: When newlyweds Marie and Richard travel to the beaches of Spain to meet with Richard's twin sister, Susan, the last leg of their European honeymoon suddenly takes on a surprising new flavor. Susan, who has always been more than close to her twin, finds herself for the first time competing for his affection. Marie, fascinated by Susan's uninhibited and aggressive nature, begins to crave her sister-in-law's attention more than her new husband's. Richard, trying to salvage his quickly dissolving marriage, is forced to confront his inherent attraction to his twin. Caught between desire and necessity; intimacy and identity; dreams and reality, each one struggles to stay afloat in a quickly rising, citrus-flavored sea.

Synopsis: Developed in collaboration with real, live teenagers, The Smell of Rain When It's Raining explores the stories of eleven suburban kids whose paths cross one rainy Friday night in an abandoned playground. It has been described as "Deep but not cheesy and extra cool cuz there's kissing.". It's a rainy Friday night in a Midwestern suburb and Elliot, a slightly eccentric sophomore, is dressed in a suit, lying in the neighborhood playground, contemplating raindrops and his own existence. Meagan, an aspiring poet who is new in town, is feeling inspired by the rain and goes to the park in hopes of finding a poem to write, but instead finds Elliot whom she dubs 'Rainboy.' Meanwhile in the subdivision, Rainboy's older brother Sam is coming to terms with the end of his relationship with Noelle; Lisa is having all of her best friends over for the night with the exception of Noelle's sister, Gretchen, who is busy splashing in puddles and discussing atheism with Lisa's older brother, Justin. By the end of the night, all of the teenagers find themselves in the park having formed new relationships, tested old ones, and, in the process, discovered how to smell the rain when it is actually raining.
