Amsterdam, 1986. The Downtown club is alive, the music is electric, and a generation is living freely, defiantly, gloriously as themselves. Ronnie spins the records. Lennart comes to dance and hook up with whoever he can. When 20-year-old artist Bas arrives — golden, radiant, irresistible — something shifts between the three of them, and a bond forms that will outlast everything, even when their realities begin to change as more and more regulars start to vanish from Downtown. Downtown is a film about what it meant to be young, gay, and alive in one of history’s most beautiful and brutal decades.
