What We Have
TLA ReleasingMaurice (writer-director Maxime Desmons), a gay actor and teacher, finds himself lost in translation in Northern Ontario. Fleeing from his troubled past in France, Maurice's romantic sense of Canada leads him to seek refuge in a remote community where he discovers little outlet for his Parisian appetite for one-night stands. Things get more complicated after he takes a job tutoring French to 15-year-old Allan (Alex Ozerov), a shy student struggling with his sexuality. As Maurice finds burgeoning romance with the local theatre company's charismatic manager, Michael (Jean-Michel Le Gal), he finds himself distracted by Allan's adolescent world ? risking everything to protect his young student, who develops a hard-to-resist attraction for his enigmatic European mentor.
