Synopsis

Documentary filmmaker Erik Rothman (Thure Lindhardt) first meets Paul Lucy (Zachary Booth), a closeted lawyer, in New York in 1997. Their highly charged first encounter quickly develops into a meaningful relationship. As the two men set up a home and life together, each continues to privately battle their own compulsions and addictions.

A film about sex, friendship, intimacy and most of all, love, Keep the Lights On takes an honest look at the nature of relationships in our times.
