LOS Angeles, 1962, and college professor George Falconer is struggling to find meaning in his life after the death of his long-term partner Jim.
He is consoled by his closest friend Charley, a 48-year-old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future.
A young student, Kenny, who is coming to terms with his homosexuality, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit.
A SINGLE MAN (12A) is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
Colin Firth has received his first Oscar nomination for his role as George. Julianne Moore is Charley.
