Free Man

When Michael’s partner of thirteen years, Charlie, dies unexpectedly, he is forced to work with his estranged mother-in-law, Celine, to plan his funeral. When they have a difference of opinion, Michael finds himself embroiled in a power struggle for the right to plan the memorial the way Charlie wanted. While Michael begins to dive deep into his psyche to keep the memory of Charlie alive, Celine turns to the legal system, stripping Michael of Charlie’s burial rights. Michael must use his music and the power of their union to confront his grief and mourn his dead lover.
