When Edie and Thea first met, they danced so long that Edie wore a hole in her stocking. Both now in their 80s, the couple light-heartedly reminisce about their storied relationship, which began in New York City in the early 1960s. Facing homophobic families, prejudiced co-workers, and Theas diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, they managed to stay together through it all. A loving look at a long-term relationship, Edie and Thea also serves as a lens through which to see the history of the American gay rights movement.
