L!fe Happens (2011)

dir: Kat Coiro

The film begins with the cast lined up on a stage singing "Seasons of Love", a song expressing a year in the life of the bohemians. On Christmas Eve 1989, apartment tenants Mark (Anthony Rapp) and Roger (Adam Pascal) express their anger at being asked to pay rent that was waived by their friend. At the same time, Tom Collins (Jesse L. Martin), a former roommate of Mark's, arrives in town and is attacked in an alley ("Rent"). Benjamin "Benny" Coffin III (Taye Diggs), the landlord and former roommate of Mark, Roger, and Collins, plans to evict the homeless living in the lot next to Mark and Roger's building and build a cyber studio in its place. He offers Mark and Roger free rent if they convince Maureen (Idina Menzel) (Mark's ex-girlfriend) to stop her protest against Benny's plans ("You'll See"). A street drummer (and drag queen), Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia), finds Collins and gets him cleaned up. Angel mentions that he will be attending a Life Support meeting, telling Collins he has AIDS, to which Collins replies, "Me too."
