In 1973 playing it straight can get a little twisted... Set in 1973 and inspired by true events, American Primitive tells the story of the havoc that is wreaked in a teenage girls life when she discovers her widowed father is gay. Alternately comic and tragic, the film captures the homophobia of the time set against a backdrop of small town America on Cape Cod. The film utilizes emblematic music expressing the artistic and experimental freedom of the early 70s.
