Successful Winnipeg-based artist
David (
Troy Ruptash) has become isolated from humankind due to his fame and notoriety, which negatively affects his inspiration for painting new works. Having come to the conclusion that the only cure for this condition is a heavy dose of culture immersion,
David sets out to find a job -- and quickly finds one waiting tables at a diner run by married couple
Matt (
Vincent Corazza) and
Violet (
Cherilee Taylor).
David purposefully manages to keep this new part of his life a secret from his best friends
Kryla (
Lynda Boyd) and
Shannon (
Thom Allison), especially when he starts developing a crush on
Matt. As the two start a romantic relationship,
Violet and
Kryla each separately become suspicious and begin looking into the various inconsistencies surrounding
Matt and
David's recent actions.
Matt, under pressure, ends the relationship but finds he must confess his sins to
Violet when his and
David's relationship is about to be made public due to some nude portraits
David painted with
Matt as the subject. The feature-film directing debut for Canadian playwright
Brad Fraser,
Leaving Metropolis gained wider public notice after being selected for inclusion into the
2002 Montreal World Film Festival.
