Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood , adaptation focuses on the life of literature professor George Falconer, depressed by the death of his partner Jim ( Matthew Goode), decides to end his own life while recalls happy moments in concubinage. In these decisive days, he fights with a friend who wants it, in the skin of a brief but precise involvement Julianne Moore, and flirtation with a student in his class, in the role of Nicholas Hoult, the charismatic partner of Hugh Grant in A great guy.
