"(A) beautifully aching love story. Sachs' stunner is a front-runner for best American film of the year."
—The Village Voice
Documentary filmmaker Erik (Lindhardt) and closeted lawyer Paul (Booth) meet through a casual encounter, but soon find a deeper connection. Compulsive and fueled by drugs and sex, their almost decade-long relationship is defined by highs, lows, and dysfunctional patterns. Harrowing and romantic, visceral and layered, Keep the Lights On is a film that looks at love in all of its manifestations, going to dark depths and coming back to a place of grace.
