Description
After fleeing the war in Beirut, Mohammed finds his fortune in America as an artist, earning celebrity status. He meets Samir, born in America but raised in the Lebanon, who has returned to the US to study. One is Muslim, the other is Christian but both are gay and experience similar transitions in life - the difficulties of coming out to their families in their homeland, the freedom offered in America, the search for love and self and 'home'. In clips, quips, memories and hallucinations, tragic news reports and hilarious short plays, diary entries and conversations, it tells the stories of a group of individuals who can no longer love or think except in fragments of time. Their dances with death - in wartorn Beirut, with the scourge of AIDS - form a raging affirmation of life.
