Synopsis

Jacques Nolot both stars and directs BEFORE I FORGET, a tale of a downward spiralling gay gigolo, struggling to cope with his advancing age, poverty, loneliness, writers block and the increasing complications of HIV disease. When his wealthy benefactor dies after thirty years of lavish support, his inheritance is challenged by the benefactor’s family, leaving him destitute.

This situation undermines his very existence to the extent that it controls his every move for behind it is the fear of being forgotten, or worse: dying back where he started – on the streets. Young hustlers, drugs, alcohol, and countless cigarettes provide momentary distractions, but ultimately, he must face his inner demons in order to be free of them.
