Seu prazer, no entanto, não está no lucro, mas no excitante ato de jogar. Perante sua namorada e seus amigos Mahowny é apenas um devotado funcionário de banco, visto como extremamente eficiente por seus superiores. Apesar de sua aparente ingenuidade, durante um ano e meio ele conseguiu desviar mais de 10 milhões de dólares para financiar suas compulsivas apostas.

Certa vez, trancado para fora de sua própria casa, Giles acha refúgio da chuva em um cinema. Acreditando estar prestes a assistir à adaptação de uma obra literária, ele acaba entrando na sessão de uma comédia infanto-juvenil. Mas quando estava prestes a se levantar indignado com a baixa qualidade do filme, Giles De"Ath tem uma visão que o prende de volta na poltrona: o rosto de um jovem ator Ronnie Bostock (Jason Priestley, de Barrados no Baile). Impressionado com o rapaz, o viúvo Giles decide embarcar em uma jornada para descobrir mais sobre o dono daquela face, nem que se para isso tiver que aprender como usar um videocassete, comprar revistas adolescentes ou embarcar para Long Island. Dirigido por Richard Kwietniowki - Vencedor do BAFTA (Oscar do cinema britânico), Amor e Morte é um drama tocante, surpreendente e inteligente, baseado no obra de Gilbert Adair.

Six deaf performers-three women, three men- are brought together to devise staged pieces based on their experience of gay and deaf cultures intersecting, and the highly politicized nature of both in Britain. The result is a diverse, assertive collage, ranging from advice on how to seduce a librarian( in silence, of course), to the importance of short hair in visibly proclaiming your lesbianism and deafness: plus an essential beginner's guide to sexual signing.
