Synopsis

Inspired by the award-winning short flm of the same name, 1985 follows Adrian, a closeted young man returning to his Texas hometown for Christmas during the first wave of the AIDS crisis. Burdened with unspeakable tragedy in New York, Adrian reconnects with his brother and estranged childhood friend, as he struggles to divulge his dire circumstances to his religious parents.

"1985 feels like a missing minor classic from the decade that preceded the rise of the so-called New Queer Cinema."-Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
