As summer comes to a close, Clémence finally opens up to her ex-husband, telling him she has fallen in love with women. Her world is instantly shattered when he retaliates by taking away custody of their son. Now, Clémence finds herself in the fight of her life—refusing to choose between being a mother and living her truth as a free woman.
🏳️🌈Queer French Film Series-Program Note🏳️🌈
Notes on the History of French Queer Cinema: https://nostalgiaandliquor.substack.com/p/queer-french-cinema-a-historical
The history of French queer cinema is rich and diverse. During June 2026 in Paris—Pride Month—Lost in Frenchlation presents a series of films dedicated to French queer culture and lives. The series showcases a range of films from leading queer French-speaking filmmakers. Time-honored filmmakers such as Céline Sciamma, Christophe Honoré, Alain Guiraudie, Robin Campbillo, Julia Ducournau and Xavier Dolan are included in the program along with a new generation of French queer filmmakers such as Anna Cazenave Cambet and Hafsia Herzi. Through dramas and comedies, their films explore lesbian relationships, trans lives, “coming-out,” AIDS, and the pleasures of being queer.
*The Queer French Film Series is funded, in part, by the City University of New York’s Research Foundation.
