The 1997 American television film "In the Gloaming," directed by Christopher Reeve in his directorial debut, centers on a prodigal son named Danny who returns home to his family to die from late-stage AIDS. The story explores the complex family dynamics and reconciliation that unfolds during Danny's final months. The film stars Robert Sean Leonard as Danny, Glenn Close as his mother, David Strathairn, Bridget Fonda, and Whoopi Goldberg in a supporting role.

The film is adapted from a short story by Alice Elliott Dark published in The New Yorker and it aired on HBO on April 20, 1997. It delicately portrays themes of illness, family estrangement, and acceptance. It was well-received, earning nominations for several Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Lead Actress (Glenn Close) and Outstanding Supporting Actress (Bridget Fonda), as well as winning four CableACE Awards.

Christopher Reeve directed the film after his horseback-riding accident left him quadriplegic, bringing a poignant perspective on mortality and reconciliation. The film's setting highlights intimate family interactions and the emotional journey of coping with terminal illness and unspoken family tensions, especially in the context of the son's homosexuality and illness. The narrative is noted for its quiet, observational style and strong performances by the cast[1][5][2].
