THE SUM OF US


The Sum of Us is 1994 Australian film directed by Dowling and Geoff Burton starred Russell Crowe and Jack Thompson.
The plot revolves around the comfortable relationship between widower Harry and his gay son Jeff and their individual searches for the right mate. Harry unconditionally loves his Rugby-playing son, and even takes an active part in Jeff's search for Mr. Right. Harry reveals that his mother (Jeff's grandmother) was a lesbian, perhaps accounting for his accepting attitude toward Jeff. Eventually Harry, via a video dating service, finds a woman that he likes, a divorcee named Joyce, who may not be so understanding after spying a gay magazine in Harry and Jeff's house. Jeff's boyfriend, who is closeted from his own homophobic father, finds it difficult to relate to Harry's well-meaning matchmaking ways. Unfortunately, Harry suffers a massive stroke and is disabled, leaving him unable to speak or walk. Jeff cares for him as best as he can, while Jeff's boyfriend is ejected from his own home when his homophobic father sees him on TV in a gay parade. Harry and Jeff meet up with him in the supermarket one day, and Harry gives Jeff the go-ahead to go and see if Jeff can rekindle their relationship.
