Jerker
1991, English. Directed by Hugh Harrison.
The movie, adapted from Robert Chesley's homoerotic play of the same title, revolves around two men who started out as phone sex buddies who grew on each other through time. The fragility of this kind of relationship is put to fore when Bert (Tom Wagner) got sick and couldn't return his calls. J.R. was left with nothing to hold on to but blank hope. No warning. No goodbye. Bert is gone.
