Documentarian duo Nickolas Bird and Eleanor Sharpe (Bathroom Rules) chronicle the 1970s Melbourne love affair between Tim Conigrave and John Caleo.
At an exclusive Catholic boys school in Melbourne 1976, Tim Conigrave and John Caleo fell madly in love. Their passionate, tempestuous, operatic romance lasted for 16 years, facing disapproval, temptation, separation, and the looming shadow of the Grim Reaper. Their relationship has been immortalised in Conigrave's posthumous autobiography Holding the Man (now a major Australian film directed by Neil Armfield). This is the true story of how Romeo met Romeo and how a first love can not only last but endure.
