This film adaptation of the Broadway
musical based loosely on
Puccini's
opera La Bohème features many members of the original cast. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of
Roger (
Adam Pascal),
Mimi (
Rosario Dawson),
Tom (
Jesse L. Martin), and
Angel (
Wilson Jermaine Heredia);
Maureen (
Idina Menzel) deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner,
Joanne (
Tracie Thoms), wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble;
Benjamin (
Taye Diggs) has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and
Mark (
Anthony Rapp), an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.
