A
Single Man is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood.
Set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it
is the story of a British college professor (Colin FIrth) who is struggling
to find meaning to his life after the death of his longtime partner. The
story is the romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an
inherent part of the human condition, and, ultimately the importance of
the seemingly smaller moments in life.
