The Guest House

Rachel arrives home one morning after staying out all night with her boyfriend Jason. Jason has decided to break up with Rachel since they have both just graduated from high school and are going off to college, and they argue before he drives away. Rachel’s father scolds her for coming home late and informs her that a new employee at his company will stay in their guest house for a few days.

Amy arrives and Rachel shows her around the house and the guest house. Rachel plays a short original instrumental song on the piano and receives praise from Amy. Rachel explains that the guest house used to be her mother's art studio before she died from cancer.

Later that day, as Amy prepares to take a bath, the two get to know each other, talking about travel and relationships. Rachel opens up about Jason's breakup and her plans to go to college in New York.

That night, they share a bottle of wine and discuss love. Amy admits she isn’t sure what it means to be in love and that she’s never felt comfortable with men or with anyone.

Amy walks to the main house and accidentally sees Rachel masturbating to a lesbian adult film. She returns to the guest house without Rachel noticing.

The next morning, Rachel takes Amy out to shop and see the city. They document their activities on a video camera and discuss their hopes and dreams; Rachel mentions her desire to make music.

On a Ferris wheel at the beach, their conversations become more personal; Amy confesses that she thinks Rachel is cute and feels they have become best friends. They return home aware of their bond, and that night they make love.

The next day they spend more time together, making love in the hot tub and then going to a small nightclub concert. Afterward they visit a tattoo parlor to get matching tattoos.

The following morning, Rachel goes to the piano and plays the same song but with lyrics. Amy walks in, hears part of the performance, and embraces Rachel.

The next morning, Rachel's father arrives home early and is shocked to find her in bed with Amy. It’s revealed that her father and Amy slept with each other. Disgusted and heartbroken, Rachel breaks off their relationship.

A few months later, Rachel performs a show at a small club in San Francisco. Afterward, Amy waits outside; they kiss and admit they missed each other. They walk by the water near the Golden Gate Bridge, and Amy tells Rachel she loves her; Rachel says she loves her too.
