Judith, an uptight widow, is appalled when her daughter Lily quits law school to move into a commune of hippie misfits who live according to the behavioural principles of the bonobo monkey, a species famous for its 'make love not war' philosophy.

An unsettling portrait of a destructive three night affair between two men - one is gay, lost and adolescent, the other is married to a woman and middle-aged. Set in the heart of Soho, a fracturing queer landscape, Nightstand is a whirlwind of repressed yearnings and urban loneliness.
