CGiii Comment
Beirut in ruins in 1994, a presbytery in the heart of a French forest, a stopover in Morocco... A man destroyed by his lover's death tries to get on with life, helped by meeting a man he helps to come out. The destiny of three lovers tied up in a story of separation and desperate yet poetic reconstruction. Rites of initiation (raw sex between men outside the canons of physical possibility), the game of exchanging taunting looks, part fiction, part reality. A type of filmmaking that is different, sensual, creative and fecund-photogram after photogram. A rare and precious film.
1994 : Beyrouth panse ses plaies après 15 ans de guerre. Vincent, au milieu des ruines, tente avec sa caméra de faire le deuil de son ami, mort du SIDA. Dix ans plus tard, sa libido bien affectée, Vincent fait la connaissance de Christophe, un marginal qui vit avec Madeleine dans un presbytère au coeur de la forêt. En aidant Christophe à accepter son homosexualité, Vincent trouve peu à peu le chemin du désir. C'est alors au tour de Madeleine de chercher un nouveau sens à la vie.
