Synopsis |
|
Thomas and Luc are brothers. Thomas
is straight; Luc is gay. Unable to
accept his brother`s homosexuality,
Thomas distances himself. When
Thomas contracts a terminal illness,
he intrudes into Luc`s contented
life and asks him to be his
caretaker. Luc begrudgingly
sacrifices his lover, his job and
his comfortable life to care for his
dying brother. Through the rounds of
doctors and the demanding challenges
of catastrophic illness, the
brothers are forced to examine the
meaning of their existence, and
their powerlessness in the face of
impending doom. They return to their
childhood home on the beach,
reconnect with their past, and
ultimately forge a new and vital
relationship. |
