The subject of this film may be highly disturbing to some viewers. This dark, Canadian film, based on the award winning Toronto play, graphically chronicles the last days and doctor-assisted suicide of Chris, a fictional dancer and choreographer with AIDS. This picture was shot in real time and focuses upon the last meal Chris shares with his lover, Val before the doctor administers a lethal injection. Four days after this film was finished, Ken McDougall, the actor who played Chris, died of AIDS related complications. (Rovi)
