They Glow in the Dark

Michael and Jim, two middle-aged gay friends and ex-lovers, penniless and with HIV, reunite after twenty years. They try to make a living in the post-Katrina New Orleans, making and selling small figures from the Cajun pantheon. They carry past glorious loves as a secret refuge from the present mediocrity and, although they revolt against the hardships of their lives, they depend on each other and stick to their commitment to go on trying to survive together until death do them part. The film was shot in June 2010 in New Orleans.
