Chris & Don tells the story of a romance that began on the beaches of Santa Monica in the 1950s, when Christopher Isherwood at age 48 met Don Bachardy who then was eighteen years old. Isherwood, an established author with works such as The Berlin Stories, which helped inspire much of Cabaret, helped Bachardy discover and develop his affinity for drawing and painting as he became a renowned portrait painter during the second half of the 20th century to the present. The documentary includes insight from friends, including Liza Minnelli and John Boorman, who tell of the countless struggles the two faced as one of the first openly gay couples in Hollywood. Despite the age difference, the couple endured until Isherwood succumbed to prostate cancer in 1986.

Des hommes et des femmes, nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, ils n'ont aucun point commun sinon d'être homosexuels et d'avoir choisi de le vivre au grand jour, à une époque où la société rejetait l'homosexualité. Ils ont aimé, désiré, lutté, pour se faire reconnaître. Aujourd'hui, ils racontent ce que fut cette vie insoumise, partagée entre la volonté de rester des gens comme les autres et l'obligation de s'inventer une liberté pour s'épanouir.

Au début de la guerre froide aux États-Unis, l'homosexualité est encore considérée comme une maladie psychiatrique et la sodomie est passible de prison dans de nombreuses régions du pays.
