An eldergay has fallen on hard times in Sandusky, Ohio. His partner died of AIDS before SSM, and he had no legal rights to the home he had built with him. His partner's death caused him to lose the toney customers at his hair salon. And, as one of the few survivors of the AIDS pandemic, he is alone and lonely in a nursing home. He waits for death with the other elderly outcasts in his town.
A kind and compassionate Todd Stephens listened to one man's sad story and gave Udo Kier the role of a lifetime. It would have been easy to play this movie as broad comedy, making all the characters black and white. But the movie isn't drawn in broad strokes. Every detail, down to the Vivante shampoo and migrating hat flowers, is perfectly considered.
