This documentary is about Saar, who was born in Israel but has spent the last 17 years living in London. He’s gay, HIV+ and a member of the London Gay Men’s Chorus. He also has a rather complicated relationship with his family, who didn’t react well to finding out he was gay, or that he was HIV+. While they have been improved over the years, there are still lots of issues to deal with.
The film follows him as he deals with some of those issues, including when first his mother and then his father come to visit, and he returns to see them and his six siblings in Israel. It reveals a complex portrait and a rather sad one, of a man who seems to feel rather dislocated from everything he grew up and has created his own family in London, but still feels like something is missing in his life.
