TO LIVE, TO DIE, TO LIVE AGAIN

Moving drama about a love triangle in the shadow of AIDS in 1990s Paris.

They’re young, in their twenties, and in love. In 1990s Paris, the lives of Sammy, Emma, and their young son are upended when they meet photographer Cyril. It’s the start of a secret affair between the two men… But the carefree interplay of passion and jealousy takes a dark turn when a blood test reveals an unexpected fourth presence in their relationship: the virus. How do you keep living when death enters your daily life? What becomes of love, friendship, and family in the face of looming mortality? And what does it mean to go on when the worst doesn’t come to pass?

Gaël Morel offers a heartfelt homage to those lost to HIV/AIDS, while asking what it truly means to survive. Tenderly, the film captures moments of joy and pain, despair and beauty—holding on to hope in the midst of grief.
