Drama

Robert Tucker, a young gay man with an almost affectless demeanor, drifts through a succession of waiting rooms. While waiting, he revisits the pivotal year of his childhood when his father died. At ten or eleven he is bullied at his Catholic school, has no friends, and returns to a home where his mother is quiet and his father is ill and angry. After the death, the wake proceeds, the coffin arrives and is removed, and Robert grieves alone.
