Keep the Lights On 2012

Directed by Ira Sachs | Starring: Paprika Steen, Thure Lindhardt, Julianne Nicholson, Souléymane Sy Savané

Documentary filmmaker Erik and closeted lawyer Paul meet through a casual encounter, but they find a deeper connection and become a couple. Individually and together, they are risk takers — compulsive, and fueled by drugs and sex. In an almost decade-long relationship defined by highs, lows, and dysfunctional patterns, Erik struggles to negotiate his own boundaries and dignity and to be true to himself.
