In Silver Road, lifelong friends Danny and Mark, both seventeen, struggle with the awkwardness of saying goodbye the night before Danny leaves for university in the city. Mark will stay behind to work his father's farm, hoping someday to buy some land of his own.
We see feelings of fear and isolation of Danny, a gay teenager who is leaving home but first needs to say goodbye to his best friend, and also quiet love of Mark, the shy farm boy who is struggling with being left alone.
"Though the film deals with "coming out", I knew I was never making a film for a gay audience only. I created a film that is at its core about the complexity of male love and friendship. Danny and Mark's love for one another is different in nature, but the bond they share is deep and meaningful. The depth of that bond is clear from the collective heartbreak in the final scene of the film.
Though the film's structure is simple, there is nothing easy about the characterization of Mark and Danny. It is Mark's deep desire to accept Danny and his recognition that he is no longer able to reach out to him that gives the film its final emotional punch. It is to the credit of my actors that the film so richly exhibits the subtleties of male friendship, love and ultimately, grief." -The director
