The Lost Lounge is a tribute to the people who hold out and to the places people gather to sift through what is lost and found when delicate memory is confronted with hard progress. It is a dark shadowy lounge populated by some uniquely queer yet recognizably universal characters whose moods swing between pessimism for the future and optimism of the past. All set to the beat of some different drums.
