Synopsis |
This is a documentary about Andrew
and Jeremy, who met each other at
Bromptons Club, a legendary gay bar
in Earls Court, London. Despite a
considerable age gap (Andy is 49,
Jeremy 69) and stark social
differences, they fell in love and
began sharing their lives together.
Five years later, in May 2004, they
got married at an emotional and
intimate Town Hall ceremony.
Andy is a retired bus driver from
South London, handsome in that rough
and roguish way. Jeremy is an
English professor - cute, fussy,
vivacious and clearly from a
patrician world. Both men
experienced painful early struggles
with their sexuality. Jeremy had a
failed marriage to a woman, followed
by a misguided attempt to 'cure'
himself. Andy cruised public
washrooms and indulged with much
promiscuity - gay bars, drug
addiction, crime, prison and
rehabilitation. Jeremy has literary
connections and moves in a sphere of
chic dinner parties, poetry readings
and gay picnics. Between their homes
in London and their exploits in Palm
Springs and Hollywood, we get to
know these likeable, complex and
sensitive men in a way that is rare
in movies - which is to say we begin
to care deeply about them and their
relationship. |
