Opis

Unwanted and unloved by his parents, Perry seeks love and attention from his adoring fans in the nightclubs and pubs of Melbourne as a drag queen. He meets Frank, a charming rogue and ex con and they become partners. They are together for 5 years before Frank is arrested for embezzlement and while in the watch house, is attacked and killed by his former associate. Destitute and alone, Perry heads back to his parents house but his mother falls and breaks her hip so Perry becomes a reluctant carer. Soon afterwards his father has a stroke and Perry is now the carer of both his parents for 7 years. After the death of his parents, Perry heads for a well earned holiday on the Gold Coast. He meets Chris and they fall in love and move in together. But Chris is no ordinary man as Perry finds out quickly and his life as a carer starts all over again, but now he does it for love. Being a carer is a life long commitment few are able to grasp, but many dedicate their lives to helping others live a life of independence and outside of institutions.
