Looking for Langston plot

A memorial service is underway, the mourners surround a coffin. Downstairs is a bar, where freshly dressed men dance and walk around. One of them has a dream in which he meets a beauty, who, however, ignores him. When he wakes up, the beauty is next to him. His story and his visits to jazz and dance clubs are complemented by voices reading poetry and essays by Hughes. A black-and-white, fantasy-like film about high-society homosexuals during the "Harlem Renaissence", using archive footage and photography.
