Asking Anna

When Steven flies to Seattle for what should be a routine medical follow up, he brings Anna and hits on a plan: he'll introduce her to his friends from home and poll them about whether, based on their immediate judgment, he should ask Anna. But the plan goes awry when old lovers resurface, along with the cancer Steven thought he'd beaten, and the simple scheme he hoped would solve his problem does everything but.

Asking Anna is a comedy, in the tradition of Alain de Botton's On Love and Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, about how the baggage you bring on a trip isn't just the kind packed in a suitcase.
