1980 年代末的纽约。表演艺术家 Jimmy 大病初愈，重返事业。他一边为登台做准备，一边开始了一段新恋情，追逐肉体的欢愉。巴洛克宗教音乐、古老的民谣、流行经典曲目、迪斯科与新浪潮，不同时代的气息交汇流淌；其中 Jimmy 长段演绎《我爱的男人》和《Look What They’ve Done to My Song, Ma》的场景尤为出彩。对于等待爱情、以歌声回溯人生的 Jimmy 来说，舞台是他能够从头到尾完全栖身于一首歌的地方。Ira Sachs 借这个虚构人物，召唤出那个年代活跃于纽约下城的酷儿艺术家们的记忆。拉米·马雷克在同一具身体里容纳了汹涌的生命力与仿佛转瞬即逝的脆弱，将 Jimmy 岌岌可危的存在化为令人着迷的魅力。
