This is the story of a life—a life split in two. Born in 1947, Tony Powell was a British soccer star for thirteen years (1968–1981). Today, he manages a deserted motel in the heart of West Hollywood, which is about to close its doors. Between these two eras lie a sense of mystery, things left unsaid—or kept discreet—an escape, acts of abandonment, silence, in short: the seal of secrecy. For being gay in the world of professional soccer is impossible; some have even lost their lives because of it…
An intense and poignant film, where smiles, tears, moments of anger, and acts of defiance all come to the surface.
