Inspired by the award-winning short film of the same name, 1985 follows Adrian, a closeted young man, returns to his Texas hometown for Christmas during the first wave of the AIDS crisis. Burdened with an unspeakable tragedy in New York, Adrian reconnects with his brother and estranged childhood friend, as he struggles to divulge his dire circumstances to his religious parents.

A film destined to become a classic of the future. Intense emotion, feelings brushing the surface and sublime black and white.
