Summertime in France. At a cruising spot for men, tucked away on the shores of a lake, Franck falls for Michel, but Michel has a regular hook-up at the lake. When Franck witnesses Michel killing his hook-up, he is shocked, but nonetheless his passion for this dangerous man overrides any sense of personal safety, and the two men begin an affair.

Whilst waiting for Michel to arrive at the lake each day, Franck befriends Henri, an older man, who doesn’t fit in with the "scene", sitting on the outskirts of the cruising area, observing all the comings-and-goings. Their friendship is not based on sex, but on conversation and a shared observation of their world and situation. As Franck and Michel’s liaisons continue with reckless abandonment, a policeman arrives at the lake as the body of Michel’s murdered hook-up has washed up on the shore...

SORRY ANGEL
Starring Vincent Lacoste, Pierre Deladonchamps, Denis Podalydès, Rio Vega, Adèle Wismes, Thomas Gonzales, Clément Métayer, Quentin Thébault, Tristan Farge and Marlène Saldana. Directed by Christophe Honoré.

The intertwining journeys of Jacques, a worldly Parisian writer, and Arthur, a curious, carefree and much-younger university student who is just beginning to live.

FAMILY PHOTO
Starring Vanessa Paradis, Camille Cottin, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Pierre Deladonchamps, Chantal Lauby, Rio Vega, Jonathan Boudina, Émilie Cazenave and Antonio Lanciano. Directed by Cécilia Rouaud.

Gabrielle, Elsa and Mao are three adult siblings, leading very different lives. Single mother and artist Gabrielle has struggled to make ends meet, and finds herself working as a human statue along the Seine; Elsa has married well but is increasingly distraught at her inability to conceive; video game designer Mao drowns his melancholy and frustration at the world in psychoanalysis and booze.

Their long-separated parents aren’t exactly helping matters. Pierre has taken up with a woman younger than them all, and Claudine drives everyone crazy. The passing of their grandfather forces a family reunion, and the raising of a question that none of them wants to face: what to do about beloved matriarch, Mamie?
