Dear Luke, Love Me

Dear Luke, Love Me

Best friends Penny and Luke make choices to adhere to societal expectations rather than their own best interests. When their romantic relationship proves unsustainable, as Luke slowly comes to terms with his asexuality, the two settle into the unconventional roles of non-romantic significant others, which lasts over a decade. But when Luke, intimidated by societal pressures, wants to find something "normal," a decision is made that may extinguish their twin flames for good. The directorial debut of prolific actor Guillermo Diaz, Dear Luke, Love Me offers an underrepresented perspective on asexuality while sharing an important non-heteronormative narrative about how pressures from the current culture can affect unconventional connections.
