Blackouts

Juan Gay lies dying, while a young man cares for him - someone whom Juan met in another lifetime, and who has haunted the edges of his life ever since. As the end approaches, the two trade stories, resurrecting lost loves, mothers and fathers, and their lives are woven, ineluctably, into a broader story of sexuality and oppression. Blending fact with fiction, Blackouts is a moving, dreamlike rumination on memory and erasure _ on the ways in which stories sustain histories.
