Miles Parker, a young, hip English teacher at a suburban private school is confronted with the news he’s been diagnosed HIV positive. His world seems to crumble as the medication he’s prescribed for the rest of his life takes a physical toll and he’s put at odds with a concerned parent who fears her son could be in danger. Miles must struggle to maintain his dignity and find acceptance within himself and from those around him.

Danzón no. 2

Mexico City, 1944. The star of the Salón Sonora is preparing for her nightly show, but when the clock strikes 11 and a mysterious man descends from a black coupé  at the hall’s entrance, a story of passion, jealousy and dancing will unfold to the rythm of the Danzón no. 2, a symphonic piece by Arturo Márquez.
