Not pleasant at all...but, it certainly serves as a warning!

If your partner is needy and domineering...GET OUT!

The(ir) Blurb...

After living together for several months, Louis (24 years old) moves in with his lover Sam (35 years old) in the huge suburban house bought as a surprise by the latter. Despite the excitement generated by this pivotal stage in their relationship, Louis discovers that his new life is a prison: a suburb far from the city, his landmarks and his friends. An invitation to dinner will upset the couple, as a certain darkness sets in.


Après plusieurs mois de vie commune, Louis (24 ans) emménage avec son amoureux Sam (35 ans) dans l’immense maison de banlieue achetée en surprise par ce dernier. Malgré l’excitation générée par cette étape charnière dans leur couple, Louis découvre que sa nouvelle vie est une prison : une banlieue éloignée de la ville, de ses repères et de ses amis. Une invitation à souper viendra chambouler le couple, alors qu’une certaine noirceur s’installe. “Je m’excuse” est un mini-portrait nuancé des dynamiques de contrôles et des différentes formes d’abus entre conjoints, et explore notamment certains tabous spécifiques aux violences dans les relations LGBTQ+, comme l’homophobie intériorisée et le shaming lié au statut sérologique.
