CGiii Comment

This film will stay with you...

For some, this film will be like an electric shock - wake up and smell the coffee...because it's wafting right under your nose.

Sensitive...enough to make you cry...perhaps, uncontrollably.

The aftershock of and fallout from...a dead bisexual man...true - to the stereotype that never seems to go away - of bi-selfish-ality.

It will certainly raise questions and eyebrows...and, produce a torrent of tears.

The(ir) Blurb...

AIDS doctor Antonia's husband is killed by a car. She gets depressed until she learns he had been cheating on her with a man. Following her newly born curiosity for life, she goes to see her husband's lover, Michele, and finds a huge apartment that he shares with gay and transgendered friends, including a Turkish immigrant and a prostitute. Antonia is reluctant to tell these people of her relationship to the dead man, but needs prompting to move on to a new phase of her life.
