Was a TV movie which took place in Sausalito, California. One of two men living together was a divorcee with a tennage son. It was a very sensitive production. The gayness of the couple was a central theme of the movie yet there wasn't any preaching etc. Was more of a "this is the way it is" sort of presentation. As I remember, there wasn`t any particular resolution to the problem presented by the son's problem with his father's homosexuality. It wasn't a happy ending -- we all have understanding and can go to the beach together now-- nor was it a depressing ending without hope. You were left with the feeling that it was a rough road ahead for everyone. The couple were Hollywood stereotypes of the gay couple - white, upper middle class, professionals with an artsy/craftsy home in California. At least they didn't make one of them obviously effeminate and the other macho man. They were two 'regular' guys just like some of your best friends (right?).. and that was the major strength of the story as I saw it. (hi mojo)
