A tender, melancholic chamber piece about an aging gay couple confronting their shared history, legal jeopardy, and uncertain future over a single night.
An aging gay couple owns a barber shop in the East End of London. One of them is a part-time actor about to go on trial for propositioning a police officer. The action takes place over the course of one night as they discuss their loving but often volatile past together and possible future without each other.
