CGiii Comment
A sad and sensitive story of a man dying - the cruelty is unbearable and, perhaps, too true.
The anger gives goosebumps a bad name but then it becomes almost acceptable - at least understandable.
Important in that the sex is explicit and totally acceptable.
A very fine film with a Death in Venice ending.
This is a hugely important and intelligent film.
Heartbreaking and harsh.

The(ir) Blurb...
In Paris, the thirty-one year old gay fashion photographer Romain learns that he has a terminal cancer and his chances with the chemotherapy are the least. His choice is to live the rest of his life without treatment. He hides the truth from his lover Sasha and his family and is cruel with them. He travels to visit his grandmother Laura and has a small talk with a waitress. He spends a couple of days with Laura and he meets by chance the waitress again that asks him for an unusual favor. Romain returns to Paris and changes his attitude toward the rest of his life.
