Indian Summer, also known as Alive & Kicking, is a 1996 British drama film directed by Nancy Meckler and starring Jason Flemyng, Antony Sher and Bill Nighy.
The story follows a self-involved and very focused dancer, Tonio, who has just lost his lover, Ramon, to AIDS.
He then refuses to let the fact that he is HIV positive disrupt his career as he rehearses a staging of Indian Summer, a gay-themed ballet about love and lust.
After Ramon's funeral, the dancer begins a troubled relationship with an older man, Jack, a therapist, who also has problems with controlling his own drinking.
[3] Timeout's review states "gritty British realism, resolutely unglamorous and looking always rather TV-bound," but the script, "is cogent and witty".
