House of Boys

Deftly re-creating Europe’s 80’s gay dance club era and featuring a pulsating soundtrack by NYC-based electro-pop duo Dangerous Muse, House of Boys follows the coming-of-age of Frank, a newly-out teen who’s left home to explore his freedom in the intoxicating world of an all-male cabaret run by the glamorous, eccentric Madame (Udo Kier). After falling for fellow dancer Jake, Frank’s joy turns to trepidation when Jake is diagnosed with AIDS, a then-virtually-unknown affliction. Amidst the fear and rejection they encounter as the epidemic spreads, Jake and Frank struggle to retain their love and dignity.
