Remembering the Man
“The real couple behind 'Holding the Man'.”
Synopsis
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.

This is the true story of how Romeo met Romeo and how first love can not only last but endure.
