It’s about two young men who become secret lovers until society forces them apart — and it draws on Nigel’s own experiences as a gay man who left Saint Vincent for Montreal when he was just 21.If you enjoyed this conversation, check out these episodes:Aysegul Savas: Finding home in foreignness and capturing the uncertainty of early adulthoodEric Chacour: Exploring the power of familial expectations and forbidden love
