Synopsis
Beginners
Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend.
Single on the 25th
After Nell’s family cancels holiday plans at the last minute, she decides to spend the week of Christmas having fun on her own — and crosses paths with her neighbor, who is “happily unattached.”
