Description

95 min.–documentary(2026)
vo:eng/subtitles:eng
from 14 years
by Ramiel Petros Nicholas Freeman(GB, US) It’s a story of a life. A life split in two. Born in 1947, Tony Powell was a British football star for thirteen years (1968-1981). Today, he is the manager of an abandoned motel in the middle of West Hollywood, which will soon close its doors. Between these two eras lies a form of mystery, unspoken truths – or discretions – a flight, abandonments, silence in short: the seal of secrecy. For being gay in the world of professional football is impossible, some have lost their lives for it…
An intense and poignant film, where smiles, tears, some anger and revolts emerge.
