By the end of the movie, only two of the men and Lisa are left alive. “Can you believe that there was life before this, that there were days when we didn’t wake up and wonder il we were next,” one of the charac ters says. They dream of the day when a cure for AIDS is found, which leads to the film’s surreal final scene. Except for Lisa, all of the charac ters in the film are gay.

Each actor is excellent, but Davison, as David, and Lamos, as David’s lover, Sean, arc particularly good.
