XX/XY is a film released in 2002 starring Mark Ruffalo, Kathleen Robertson and Maya Stange. The film is a romantic drama written and directed by Austin Chick, the title referring to the different chromosome pairings present in men and women. It was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in the year it was released. Although the funding for the film came from the U.S., the film was produced by British company Natural Nylon.
Plot
After two college students, Sam (Maya Stange) and Thea (Kathleen Robertson), meet Coles (Mark Ruffalo), an animator, at a party, their mutual attraction leads to a passionate and awkward night together. They form an unstable friendship, and continue to push their sexual boundaries. Soon, their friendships are tested by Sam and Coles' romance and Thea's increasing reckless behavior. Inevitably, their relationships dissolve due to fear, resentment and mistrust on all sides.
Eight years later, they reunite. Cole, now an animator for a high-profile ad agency, lives with his girlfriend of five years Claire. Thea, the former wild-child is happily married to Miles, with whom they share ownership in a very successful and flourishing restaurant. Sam has returned to Manhattan from London after breaking off her engagement. Upon reconnecting, the three are drawn back into their old and complicated dynamic. They are soon forced to confront the true meaning of commitment and love, something they avoided as young adults.
