Synopsis |
| In
New York's East Village, a group of
bohemians struggle to express
themselves through their art and
strive for success and acceptance
while enduring the obstacles of
poverty, illness and the AIDS
epidemic. Roger is an aspiring
songwriter who has emotionally shut
down after his girlfriend's suicide.
Despite his attraction, he is
reluctant to start a new romance
with his downstairs neighbor Mimi
Marquez, an exotic dancer struggling
with "baggage of her own." Roger's
roommate Mark is a filmmaker trying
to balance art and commerce. His
girlfriend Maureen, a self-indulgent
performance artist, recently left
him for a lawyer named Joanne. Also
part of this close-knit circle is
Tom Collins, a professor of
philosophy who, after being mugged,
is rescued by his soul mate, a
high-spirited street drummer, Angel
Shunard. Benny, who alienated his
friends after he married their
landlord's daughter, has reneged on
his promise to provide rent-free
artist space to his bohemian
friends. Once a close friend, he is
now viewed as the enemy, threatening
them with eviction. |
