Tethered Wings
Directed by Thierry Binisti
Produced by Septembre Productions, Mediawan Rights
A melancholic, introspective drama about a man confronted by his first love on his wedding day, forcing him to reckon with a traumatic past and the choices that defined his life.
On his wedding day, Paul is confronted by the sudden return of Joseph, a boy he lost touch with twenty years ago. The burning memories of that summer of 1983 resurface, overwhelming him with doubts about a lifetime of choices and the emotions of a forbidden love. As teenagers, their dazzling romance sparked relentless, violent homophobic harassment—until one tragic night changed their lives forever. Now, twenty years later, the past comes crashing into the present.
