But when a provocative Tom of Finland doll triggers Michael's long-buried desires, Betty discovers that secrets have been part of their life all along. With long-held mysteries thrust into the open, the foundation of their marriage and the path of their golden years is suddenly rocked. Now, they must redefine their future, and decide if it is one their love can survive. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: Soon after I arrived in the United States, almost 20 years ago, I realized that loneliness and depression are common themes in the elderly universe. Without the support of close relatives, some have no one to call for help or solace and furthermore have no meaningful structures of community or support. Aging often brings illness, reduced income and loss of family and friends. Rather than ignore the problems facing the aging communities, I decided to build upon them by creating films that push these issues into the spotlight. Tom in America is a story based on dozens of testimonies I heard from gay seniors, particularly gay men, who have found themselves in a heterosexual relationship and, interesting enough, some of them have been able to manage their marital obligations with their inner desires.
