SOLO (2025) tells the story of Simon (Théodore Pellerin), a rising star of Montreal drag queen scene. It’s love at first sight when he meets Olivier (Felix Maritaud), the new recruit of the bar show where he performs. While Simon believes he is living an electrifying love story, a toxic and destructive dynamic arises between them. At the same time, Simon’s mother returns to work in the country after 15 years of absence. Fascinated by this woman, he hardly knows, but whom he idealises, Simon persists in trying to create a bond with her. Weakened by the failure of these two impossible loves, Simon will have no choice but to realise that he deserves better. Directed by Sophie Dupuis.
Don’t miss this special screening ahead of the film’s theatrical release.
