  Enjoyable
  
  Very good portrait of the life of a happy gay man and an adventure he is about to take. Really good and well worth a watch.

  Well worth featuring at the TOP of your selection! We watched it TWICE!
  
  An excellent and thought-provoking journey through the different people and places encompassing a man,s life.Only down-side is the incomplete ending.
