Synopsis
It’s 1977 and things are looking up for Prof. Julian Chapel – he has a new exhibition and a new boyfriend. But scandal erupts when the Dean believes a homoerotic painting is a portrait of Roberto, one of Julian’s graduate students. An older, closeted colleague advises Julian to remove the painting, but Roberto wants him to fight for artistic freedom. Before Julian can decide, the painting mysteriously disappears. Set in the early days of the modern gay rights movement, Floating Down to Camelot is a comedy about love, art, and finding allies in unlikely places.
