Next Fall
By Geoffrey Nauffts. Directed by James Vasquez
Luke believes in God. Adam believes in everything else. Next Fall portrays the ups and downs of this unlikely couple’s five-year relationship with sharp humor and unflinching honesty. When an accident changes everything, Adam must turn to Luke’s family and friends for support… and answers.
Through a series of flash-backs, Luke, Adam, and their friends and family a grapple with the role that faith plays in their relationship. Luke, a devout Christian, sees his homosexuality as a sin he must repent for and nonbelievers as hell bound. Adam, a gay agnostic remains stubbornly unrepentant and unbelieving and Luke worries his boyfriend will be a future inhabitant of hell. Everything changes, however, when Adam finds himself sharing a hospital waiting room with Luke’s religious parents who have remained unaware of their son’s homosexuality throughout the couple’s five-year relationship.
