JIM QUEEN

Jim, a sex symbol on the Parisian gay scene, sees his life turned upside down when he contracts “Heterose,” a strange virus that transforms gay men… into heterosexuals! He then finds everyone turning their backs on him, with the exception of his last follower (and first admirer), Lucien, a young man who is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality. Together, they set off in search of a mysterious cure capable of healing Jim and preventing the extinction of homosexuality...

“The film is universal. I think it’s coming out at just the right time. I get the impression that gay or queer characters are being marginalised these days: cuts to funding, being sidelined on streaming platforms… and that simply didn’t exist when we started writing. Back then, we were actually in quite the opposite situation. This film comes along and doesn’t mince its words. Admittedly, there’s a risk of controversy, but our intention is focused on the positive, with values of kindness and living together. With a tone of humour that aims to be disarming. I think humour is the best weapon for dealing with the state of the world today.”
