From London-based director Nancy Meckler comes a touching, honest film about the politics of sex and relationships in the age of AIDS. The main character, Tonio (Jason Flemying, seen last year in Hollow Reed), is an arrogant and single-minded ballet dancer. As many of those close to him die, his passion for life wanes and all that's left is his art, which he rehearses and performs with an all-consuming verve. Edgy and self-centered, he never lets down his guard. That is, until Jack (Antony Sher), a rather normal, unassuming therapist, rocks his world and forces him to love again. The bickering, the lovemaking, the tension — all invigorate Tonio in ways only his dancing did before. The budding relationship evolves gracefully through the film, and it's not clear until the end whether Jack will prove to be Tonio's polar opposite or endearing soulmate.
