Passages
Directed by Ira Sachs
Produced by SBS Productions, KNM
A sexually charged, melancholic examination of desire and self-deception within a marriage fractured by infidelity and narcissism.
Tomas and Martin are a gay couple living in Paris whose marriage is thrown into crisis when Tomas impulsively begins a passionate affair with young schoolteacher Agathe. But when Martin begins an affair of his own, Tomas must confront life decisions he may be unprepared—or unwilling—to deal with.
