What happens

August is an LGBT American drama film, released in 2011. The full length directorial debut of Eldar Rapaport, the film stars Murray Bartlett as Troy, a man returning to Los Angeles five years after abandoning his long-term relationship with Jonathan (Daniel Dugan) to move to Spain. His return, however, poses problems for Jonathan, whose unresolved feelings and continued attraction to Troy threaten his relationship with his current partner Raul (Adrian Gonzalez). The film is an expansion of Rapaport's 2005 short film Postmortem, which also starred Bartlett and Dugan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
