Los Angeles 1962, het hoogtepunt in de Cuba crisis. De Britse homofiele professor George Falconer (Colin Firth) worstelt met de betekenis van het leven na de dood van zijn partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). George leeft compleet met zijn gedachten in het verleden en kan zich geen beeld van de toekomst vormen. We volgen hem gedurende een dag waarop een serie ontmoetingen en gebeurtenissen George er toe doen besluiten dat er geen betekenis aan het leven zit na Jim. George wordt bijgestaan door zijn beste vriendin Charley (Julianne Moore) die zo haar eigen vragen over haar toekomst heeft. Gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman door Christopher Isherwood.

t"s November 30, 1962. Native Brit George Falconer, an English professor at a Los Angeles area college, is finding it difficult to cope with life. Jim, his personal partner of sixteen years, died in a car accident eight months earlier when he was visiting with family. Jim"s family were not going to tell George of the death or accident let alone allow him to attend the funeral. This day, George has decided to get his affairs in order before he will commit suicide that evening. As he routinely and fastidiously prepares for the suicide and post suicide, George reminisces about his life with Jim. But George spends this day with various people, who see a man sadder than usual and who affect his own thoughts about what he is going to do. Those people include Carlos, a Spanish immigrant/aspiring actor/gigolo recently arrived in Los Angeles; Charley, his best friend who he knew from England, she who is a drama queen of a woman who romantically desires her best friend despite his sexual orientation; and Kenny Potter, one of his students, who seems to be curious about his professor beyond English class.
