A sideways view of coming of age, Rapids is the story of a young man who
moves to a strange city and finds himself lost in its warren of streets
and squares. He is looking for his own identity--personal, political,
sexual. A series of encounters culminates with his meeting Anja: a
strong, older woman, stuck in a relationship with another man she cannot
bring herself to leave. Anja proves to be an anchor for the young man,
but their relationship must remain a secret--and when that secret
finally comes to light, their troubles are just beginning.
