  • "Summary: Michael, a young homosexual, has decided to reveal his homosexuality to his family. To prepare himself, he participates in a gay and lesbian support group where others talk about how to deal with the negative responses that often result and about the difficulty of gaining acceptance, even from people to whom one has always been very close. He then attends a counselling session with his parents, his brother and sister, during which he hopes to be able to discuss their inability to accept his lifestyle with them. The experience turns out to be a disappointment, with only his sister supporting his decision to "come out", and leaving him with feelings of anger and rejection. In the credits it is revealed that the participants were actors, but this does in no way diminish the impact of the film. Awards: American Film Festival, New York."
