Synopsis
1967. London. Sodomy decriminalized! Sort of. Jack, aging tailor to the chorus boys of the West End, laments that this new generation will never know the outlaw happiness he knew as a youthful rentboy.
2022. Toronto. Kink night! Sort of. Matt, service bottom with failing knees, tries to find erotic and political connection with pronoun-careful Gen Zed puppies.
Recalling the Blitz, the Plague, sex, pleasure, kink, shame, and God, two aging queens reminisce fifty years apart, each bringing the past to the present and celebrating the future. A hundred year sliver of queer history, work, and hope! (fringetoronto.com)
