Holding the Man

Taken from the autobiography of the writer, actor and gay activist Timothy Conigrave, that also become a theatrical success, the film tells of the long and troubled love story between Tim (Ryan Corr) and John (Craig Stott): from their meeting in the 70s, when they were boys at the Jesuit college, the turbulent 80s, including the battles for recognition of LGBT rights and the spectre of AIDS, in a continuous game of time shifts. A romantic tale of a tender and poignant love story that intertwines with the grim glimpse of an era that seems far away, but in fact is not, without slipping into banal rhetoric or sentimentalism.
