Faking It

Some women fake orgasms. Some men fake whole relationships. In death, Andrea Fox succeeded in uniting her misfit ex-husband, Barry and her younger lover, Oliver in the painful pursuit of personal rehabilitation. As an osteopath, Oliver had the touch but he needed his Tuesday night men's group to help exorcise his demons. As for Barry, a regular newspaper column kept him in cigarettes and booze, but not in good spirits. For both men, relationships with women were a problem, but perhaps being themselves was even harder. This critical, comic and compassionate look at gender anxiety offers hope that all is not lost for those who are prepared to change.
