After Louie (2017)

In the tumultuous era of the 1980s and 90s, Sam dedicated himself to the cause of AIDS activism alongside the passionate members of ACT UP. The devastating toll of losing countless friends and partners left Sam emotionally scarred and burdened with a heavy survivor's guilt. Now, he finds himself disillusioned by the apathy of his former allies and critical of the apparent indifference of the younger generation towards the intricate intersection of sex and mortality. A surprising bond with a much younger companion thrusts Sam into a realm of contemporary gay existence that challenges his preconceptions. As this unconventional relationship unfolds, Sam is compelled to confront the haunting trauma that shapes their shared past, shapes their present, and casts a shadow over an uncertain tomorrow.
