WORLD AND TIME ENOUGH

Mark's a radical artist-activist, Joey's a garbage collector. Together, they sift through the detritus of family obligation, HIV status, temp jobs, and the unavoidable, inexplicable fact that, in spite of everything, they're a happy couple. A clever and bittersweet comedy, Eric Mueller's WORLD AND TIME ENOUGH tracks the deceptively modest aspirations of a twenty-something couple as they grapple with love and morality. Mark, who's HIV positive, progresses from neo-Christo sculpture making to full-scale cathedral construction. More low-key, Mark's terminally cute boyfriend, joey, hesitantly embarks on a quest to find his biological parents after an ugly coming-out scene with his adoptive parents. Heartfelt and always lively, WORLD AND TIME ENOUGH offers a witty glismpse into a side of gay coupledom rarely seen-young, Midwestern, more grunge than chic. The challenges Mark and Joey face are real; yet even against the grey Minnesots sky, you sense they are gonna make it after all.
