SYNOPSIS/PLOT

It's 1997 and New York City is in a state of intense flux when documentary filmmaker Erik Rothman (Thure Lindhardt) first meets Paul Lucy (Zachary Booth), a handsome but closeted lawyer in the publishing field. What begins as a highly charged first encounter soon becomes something much more, and a relationship quickly develops. As the two men start building a home and life together, each continues to privately battle their own compulsions and addictions. A film about sex, friendship, intimacy and most of all, love, Keep the Lights On takes an honest look at the nature of relationships in our times.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"A stiff central performance diminishes its emotional impact, but the visually alluring film's sensuality and tenderness give it a lingering spell" (David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"Lindhardt, sweet and childish and achingly vulnerable, gives a stunning performance (Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly)

----------------------------------------
"Lindhardt pushes the picture into realms of such exposed intimacy, you almost feel like you're dating him yourself (...) Puntuación: **** (sobre 5)" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)
