Rich with elegant cinematography, this documentary is an intimate view of the lives of men who survived the AIDS epidemic. By the mid ’90s, urban gay communities were decimated by HIV/AIDS. Unsure of how much longer they had to live, men from around the country started leaving behind the daily reminder of death in the cities and retiring to more affordable, balmy Palm Springs. But when the first successful medical treatments started saving lives, the community they formed began to thrive. For many residents, this desert oasis represented a new beginning, a reclaiming of a blighted youth they thought was lost.
