Reeling: Simple People

Sometimes decisions are simple, but when confronted with the choice to either swim competitively or be gay, young Henrik Bode made the difficult decision to take to the water. Now 40, Henrik's days as a swim star are over and the consequences of his youthful decision are felt in the daily drudgery of his marriage, his job as a pool attendant, and his bouts of clandestine sex in gay clubs. When the lover from his youth, Lutz, returns to town, Henrik's conflicted feelings are reawakened and the complacency of his family life is unsettled. Simple People examines the consequences of both those who hold onto the past and those who think the past won't catch up with them. ADMISSION: $10 non-member / $8 members
