Rent deals with starving artists living in New York City's East Village. It focuses on the lives of Mark, a film-maker, who's girlfriend, Maureen, a drama queen performance-artist-turned-lesbian, leaves him for another woman, Joanne who is an attorney. Mark lives with his roommate Roger, a struggling musician who just wants to write "one great song" before he dies of AIDS. One day he meets Mimi, an S&M dancer also with AIDS, and who is addicted to heroin.They fall in love. Mark and Roger's ex-roommate Tom Collins, a philosopher, who has just returned from M.I.T meets and falls in love with Angel, a Latino street-drummer/drag queen.They also have AIDS. Mark and Roger are continuosly hounded by their ex-roommate Benny, who is now their extremely wealthy landlord begging them for the rent. It focuses on a year in their lives, and their struggles of paying the rent, eviction, death, drugs, and living one day at a time.
