Synopsis |
|
THE MAN I LOVE is a uniquely French
but touchingly universal film about
the bittersweet pleasures that
accompany both coming out and
falling in love. Martin (Marcial Di
Fonzo Bo) is a young gay man who
finds himself irresistibly drawn to
the handsome Lucas (Jean-Michel
Portal), a straight swimmer and
diver less than thrilled with
Martin's unwanted attentions. But as
the two men embark on a tenuous
friendship, they are both surprised
by the stirring of new emotions that
result in unexpected passion and
possibly even true love. This sweet
and tender love story brims with
charming romanticism, warm flashes
of humor, and a unique cast of
characters that include a deaf drag
queen who signs--rather than
lip-synchs--his routines. |
