CGiii Comment

The honesty in this film is troubling...because, it actually asks a very serious and pertinent question and answers it in, possibly, the most surreal way imaginable.

You'll either get it or not.

It is brave and colourful...and was made when HIV/AIDS was considered a guaranteed death sentence.

Visionary, innovative - irresponsible - all could be convincingly argued.

It was a different approach to a difficult subject - and for that it should always be applauded.

Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Jeffrey, a young gay man in New York, decides that sex is too much and decided to become celibate. He immediately meets the man of his dreams and must decide whether or not love is worth the danger of a boyfriend dying.
