Synopsis:
AN EMPTY BED, is a day in the life of Bill Frayne, a gay man in his mid-60s living alone in Greenwich Village. During the course of his typical day, Bill encounters objects, people and places which stir and revive memories from his past. Told largely through flashbacks, the film is a time tapestry where past and present weave together to form a poignant picture of his life. Just who is Bill Frayne?
