Synopsis
Based on Timothy Conigrave’s celebrated memoir of the same name, Holding the Man is a warm and heart-wrenchingly honest story of the love between two boys (Timothy and John) who met at a Melbourne high school in the mid-1970’s while Timothy was in a high school production of Romeo and Juliet.
This meeting led to a romance that endured for 15 years through the discriminations, the jealousies and the losses.
It’s a funny, sad and celebratory love story about growing up gay in Australia.
