Beginning in the summer of 1981, Longtime Companion follows a close-knit group of gay New Yorkers as whispers about a mysterious “gay cancer” turn into the AIDS crisis that reshapes their friendships, relationships, and daily lives. Bruce Davison and Campbell Scott are among the men watching rumor give way to fear as illness starts to touch their circle, while Mary-Louise Parker is the woman friend standing alongside them as loss mounts. Moving through the 1980s in New York and on Fire Island, the film traces how love, grief, politics, and survival become inseparable.
