Synopsis

Steve has the perfect 50s lifestyle; a great job, a beautiful apartment, a loving wife and great friends. However, upon returning home from work one evening, Steve looks through his telescope and accidentally witnesses something which could change his life forever. Unable to forget what he has seen, Steve discovers the effect this has on his psyche is far more than he can deal with as he comes to terms with his dark secret.

"What if Jimmy Stewart peered out of his rear window and saw two gay men making out? The sight unwinds our hero's tightly-wound 1950s world." Inside Out Toronto 2005
