 Present day: An older man with gray hair sits on the floor against a wall with his head leaning against his palm, next to a younger man, both seem to be in deep thought. Circa 1920: Three men and a woman, holding drinks and dressed in formal wear—vests, a dress and pearls, slacks, buttoned-down shirts with the ties undone—hold drinks and pose for the camera.
From award-winning writer/director Rodney Evans, starring Anthony Mackie and Roger Robinson comes the story of one young man’s search for identity. When the young contemporary artist Perry befriends the elderly poet Bruce Nugent, together they embark on a surreal narrative journey into the gay and lesbian subcultures of the Harlem Renaissance.
