France, 1990. A trendy photographer navigating the queer underground scene in Paris (Victor Belmondo), who indulges in casual flings, meets his new neighbor (Théo Christine) and falls head over heels in love. Gaël Morel reinvents the love triangle in the style of François Truffaut, with Lou Lampros as a Jeanne Moreau figure, central to two passions, in a new exploration of grief that echoes his earlier film Après lui with Catherine Deneuve (2006). This film serves as a poignant act of remembrance for the pre-therapy AIDS generation to which the filmmaker belongs, and it is an ode to love—every kind of love—without the struggle for the right to experience it being at stake.
