What happens

Grief is a 1993 American comedy film, written and directed by Richard Glatzer. The film stars Craig Chester as Mark, a story editor for a daytime court show called The Love Judge, who is still dealing with his grief over the death of his husband due to HIV/AIDS a year earlier when the show's producer Jo (Jackie Beat) announces that she's departing the job; although he knows he might not get the promotion due to his sexuality, he applies for Jo's job and finds himself in competition against his driven but Prozac-addicted colleague Paula (Lucy Gutteridge). The cast also includes Illeana Douglas, Alexis Arquette, Carlton Wilborn, Mickey Cottrell and Paul Bartel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
