CGiii Comment

Let down by some weak performances and hard-handed writing...which is a shame because there is a good story here.

The flashback scenes are done really well...so, there is evidence of a nascent talent.

The(ir) Blurb...

When Gabe and Jonathan fall in love in the 1940s, they decide to spend their lives together in secret. But when Jonathan unexpectedly passes away years later, Gabe is faced with the fact that many Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender elders face when they move into retirement homes...he must return into the closet.
