Matthias and Maxime

The famous director Xavier Dolan again addresses sexuality and homosexual relationships between teenagers with this new film. Matthias and Maxime are two young 20-year-old boys who have always been very good friends. However, one day they will be involved in the filming of a short film that they star in, with the only reason of helping the sister of one of their group's friends. Due to the script's demands, Matthias and Maxime will be forced to kiss each other. This innocent sequence will end, however, awakening in them feelings that the two did not know. In this way, what seemed to be a simple shoot ends up defining their lives by making them rethink their sexuality, their relationship with each other and their own identity. Obviously, from that moment on, their life between them and their friendship will suffer a 180 degree turn, plunging into a crisis that they were not prepared for, but must face.

To carry out the film, Dolan has surrounded himself with performers who are actually his friends behind the scenes. Thus, the cast consists of actors and actresses such as Gabriel D'Almeida Freitas, Anne Dorval, Pier-Luc Funk, Marilyn Castonguay and even Dolan himself, who will put himself in the shoes of Maxime, one of the protagonists.
