An actress tries to sort out her life while those around her are busy doing the same in this independent comedy drama. Nina (Eleanor Hutchins) enjoyed a few years of minor celebrity when she joined the cast of a popular soap opera while still a teenager, but seven years later, after devoting most of her time to traveling the world on a budget, she decides it's time to get back to work when her bank account is nearly empty and her fan club has been reduced to a single member. Stuck in Rhode Island and needing a place to stay, Nina moves in with Jim (Barney Cheng), a librarian who is having some problems with his girlfriend, Carla (Alison Folland). While Nina struggles to get both her career and her love life back in gear, her best friend, Sheila (Reena Shah), is having problems of her own with her boyfriend, a flighty Frenchman (Pierre Mignard). Stay Until Tomorrow was screened in competition at the 2004 Avignon Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

French filmmaker and playwright Christophe Honoré adapts his own novel for the family drama Close to Léo. In the coastal town of Brittany, twentysomething Léo (Pierre Mignard) lives with his supporting family: mom (Marie Bunel), dad (Dominic Gould), and his three younger brothers. Everyone is shocked to learn the truth when Léo reveals that he's HIV positive. Brothers Tristan (Rodolphe Pauly) and Pierrot (Jérémie Lippmann) are old enough to understand, but everyone agrees little Marcel (Yannis Lespert) shouldn't hear about it. However, Marcel overhears the family's discussion and ends up feeling left out. Léo eventually takes him on a trip to Paris in order to explain his situation. Close to Léo was shown at the 2003 San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
