 Music s healing power. The week his lover Andrew has died of AIDS, Sid comes home to an empty apartment and turns on the radio to CBC s classical music program, RSVP. Jessye Norman sings Le spectre de la rose, from Berlioz s Les nuits d été. The song brings memories to Sid, then he is caught up short when the announcer thanks Andrew for making the request. Sid calls Andrew s sister in western Canada and tells her to listen when it s broadcast there. She calls her mother. Sid packs off Andrew s things: pills, clothes, a hospital bed, but he keeps one particular sweater. A week later, the funeral over, Andrew s father calls Sid, haltingly, to connect.
