This is an early US gay cinema movie. The story is pretty typical, two guys fall in love and move in together too fast. One over thinks everything and the other wants it more casual and in time they part ways, both a little wiser for their next relationship. What's interesting is that part of it was filmed at the Pride parade in NYC in 1973 and it mixed in interviews from LGBT people; many topics still of great concern today.
