Nine Lives

Tuesday, October 19, 7:30pm

Nine people, 24 hours—one thread connects them all. This provocative film exposes the intimate relations and dirty secrets of people whose lives intersect—emotionally, sexually, dangerously—over the course of one day. It begins with Ronnie, who waxes on about his love affairs, past and present, including his new online life as “HOTPOZDAD.” His latest fling, introspective drug dealer Mikey, has an encounter with a sexy hustler, Bo, who is trying to provide for his mentally challenged younger brother. A triad between Daniel, a television producer, Corey, his hunky boyfriend, and their pool boy, Carlos, threatens to go completely out of control, while Lisa gets a shocking explanation for her husband’s perpetual lateness. NINE LIVES will grab you with its graphic sexuality and heartfelt performances. The film’s talented cast includes Dennis Christopher (the fresh-faced lead from 1979’s BREAKING AWAY) and Debra Wilson (“Mad TV”).
