25 Days of Gays: Lilting (2014)

The emotional award-winning UK drama Lilting centers on Richard (played by Ben Whishaw), a young man who loses his lover Kai (played by Andrew Leung) unexpectedly. He is then faced with Kai's mourning mother, who does not speak English. With the help of a translator, the two bridge the gap between cultures, as they bond over their common loss, help each other cope and make peace with Kai's death. Ben and Andrew both appear shirtless during the film, which provides flashbacks to their characters' romantic life together.
