Synopsis

Many will remember Tom McBride as the devlishly handsome actor from the well-known laundry detergent commercials with Dana Delany. As the subject of Jay Corcoran's timely documentary, Tom grapples with the very real-life complications of living with AIDS while coming to terms with his inevitable fall from (gay) grace. Facing the tragic disjuncture between his dreams and the fearful realities of his physical decline, he emerges as a metaphor for the obsessive relationship many of us have with sex, physical beauty and success.
