Plot
The intertwined lives of three men in three different eras, three lives intimately linked by sexuality and desire, pain, and legacy.
Sinekatalog’s take
Three men in three different eras are linked by desire, pain and inheritance. The ambitious, interwoven structure promises emotional heft, and anyone drawn to sweeping queer history told through intimate stories should find it worth a look.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
