Young poet Lucien dreams about a great career of writing. One day he moves to the city and gets a job at a newspaper. He is good at it and soon celebrated for his stories. However, as a poet entering the field of journalism, he is constantly challenged by his desire to write dramatic and eye-catching stories for the press. But how much can poetry and journalism blend before it becomes fake news? – synopsis
“Lost Illusions provide a fun, provocative, hilarious, and at times even moving rags-to-riches tale with a protagonist and a setting we have not seen before” – Collider
“With its stellar performances, dramatic orchestral score and rich costume and set design, Illusions Perdues is a worthwhile, sweeping narrative of love, lust and literary ambition” – Hollywood Reporter

☞ DETAILS:
What is a woman, a man, a mother, a father? Lately our conception of this has been challenged and changed. This film dares to take the touchy conversation a step further by asking: What if a trans father carries a baby? How will he perceive his own identity? And how will the people around him react?
‘A Good Man’ leaves the audience in deep thoughts and perhaps with unanswered questions. We are therefore happy to announce that the director, Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar, will be present after the film to answer these and share the thoughts behind the film.
☞THE MOVIE:
“When his girlfriend can’t get pregnant, trans man, Benjamin, decides to carry the child in her stead. Benjamin is still transitioning and getting pregnant is not without consequences. ‘You ask me questions, but I don’t have the answers. I don’t know where we’re going either. I don’t know how people will react, how I will react,’ he frames it quite precisely at one point in the film. Benjamin is beautifully played by Noémie Merlant (star of Portrait of a Lady on Fire).” – Synopsis
“An excellent script (…) and a remarkable performance from Noémie Merlant in the role of Benjamin, well supported by Soko” – Cineuropa
