Day Release

Synopsis

A portrait by Francis Bacon, normally confined to the walls of an art museum, is granted ‘Day Release’, a rare day of freedom. It chooses to visit its creator’s former haunt—a bar in Soho, London—where it observes how the gay experience has evolved (or hasn’t) since it was painted in the 1950’s.
