The Long Day Closes

The Long Day Closes

A magical story about a boy’s love affair with the music and movies of the 50s.

Bud is a lonely and quiet boy whose moments of solace occur when he sits in rapture at the local cinema, watching towering and iconic figures on the movie screen. The movies give Bud the strength to get through another day as he deals with his oppressive school environment and his burgeoning homosexuality.
