ALL THE LOVERS

ARRETE AVEC TES MENSONGES

LIE WITH ME
by Olivier Peyon
Country: France
Year: 2022
Duration: 98'


Novelist Stéphane Belcourt has agreed to sponsor the bicentenary of a famous cognac: it’s the perfect opportunity to go back in time to where he grew up. After meeting Lucas, the son of his first love, he will have to relive a fundamental part of his life. He will be overcome by a stream of memories: an uncontrollable desire, bodies that come together, a passion that must be silenced. And this is because when they were 17 they couldn’t express their love for each other. Inspired by Philippe Besson’s masterpiece, Lie with me, a heart-breaking tale of a painful past, where memory recalls a long-lost youth.
