| Summary: | In April of 1997, Tristan Broder, gay, widowed, and balding, makes a pilgrimage of sorts from San Francisco to the prickly desert and scalped mountains around Tucson, Arizona, the place where he helped bury his partner Joe five years before. Guided by a comet that crossed the spring sky that year, he wanders toward renewal and resurrection, memory and mystery, deadly secrets and dark intentions. Set in a swift, single weekend against the stark backdrop of the Sonoran desert amid the Easter ceremonies of the Yaqui Nation -- a Native American tribe that mingles their own customs with Western Catholicism to create a passion play of rejuvenation -- "Love, the Magician" is a tale of a broken-hearted soul who will, in order to live, break more hearts. |
