Plot
In the heart of New York, Quentin Crisp, a 73-year-old scribe and maestro of melancholic wisdom, becomes an Englishman in a city that never sleeps. As Rossiter's lens trails Crisp through the bustling streets of Manhattan, he appears as a vibrant character in a city painted with diversity, his eyes adorned with shadow, his wit gracing a makeshift stage. The narrative unfolds through Crisp's interactions; revisiting memories with John Hurt, who once portrayed him in the autobiographical TV movie, "The Naked Civil Servant," or dining amidst laughter and reminiscences with friends. Those who know Crisp, paint a detailed picture of his life as an openly gay man with an effeminate demeanor, and his role in the historical timeline of the struggle for gay rights. The resulting portrait weaves a tale of wit, pain, and endurance, carving out an unforgettable character within the labyrinth of Manhattan's streets.
