All The News I Need probes the modern American response to
inevitable, ancient riddles- of love and sex and mortality. Frances
Ferguson is a lonely, sharp- tongued widow who lives in the wine
country. Oliver Gaffney is a painfully shy gay man who guards a
secret and lives out equally lonely days in San Francisco. Friends
by default, Fran and Ollie nurse the deep anomie of loss and the
creeping, animal betrayal of aging. Each loves routine but is
anxious that life might be passing by. To crack open this
stalemate, Fran insists the two travel together to Paris. The
aftermath of their funny, bittersweet journey suggests those small
changes, within our reach, that may help us save
ourselves-somewhere toward the end.
