The story follows a Sydney-based photographer in his 50s who embarks on a long-distance relationship with a younger man named Scott, exploring their differences and shared interests. After initially meeting during a tour, they form a meaningful bond despite a 30-year age gap and their contrasting lifestyles. Their relationship flourishes over time, characterized by shared experiences, art, and cultural engagements. While maintaining an open relationship, they come to recognize and embrace their affectionate connection, reflecting on the depth and complexities of love and companionship.
Over the following months and years, we fell into the rhythm of a long-distance relationship, visiting each other every couple of months.
Although we maintained an open relationship, Scott and I began introducing each other to friends and family as my boyfriend or my partner.
I was relieved, however, that he liked classical music–the last thing I wanted was to wake up to someone playing gay disco anthems over breakfast.
I found his intellectual curiosity and passion for gay politics immensely attractive.
