        Random Positions depicts the acceptable but often, destructive roles people play in their sexual relationships. The film consists of three scenes. In the first, two young men drinking beer and watching TV discuss the pros and cons of marriage and children. This segues into a chaotic club scene featuring the more superficial and humorous aspects of flirting. The final scene is a bedroom conversation between lovers who are insecure and possessive. Dialogues and comments plus images intercut from past and future scenes create a thematic thread that link the characters and stress the universal nature of these attitudes regardless of sex or sexual preference.
