Film still from "Solo," Sophie Dupuis (Canada, 2023).

Solo, Sophie Dupuis (Canada, 2023)

Simon is a rising star on the Montreal drag scene. It’s love at first sight when he meets Olivier, the new recruit to the bar-show where he performs. While Simon thinks he’s in for an electrifying love affair, a toxic and destructive dynamic develops between them. At the same time, Simon’s mother Claire, a famous opera singer, returns home to work after a 15-year absence. Fascinated by this woman, whom he hardly knows but idealizes, Simon persists in trying to create a bond with her. Weakened by the failure of these two impossible loves, Simon has no choice but to realize that he deserves better. Félix Maritaud gives in Solo a strong turn and Theodore Pellerin is dynamite here, as is the direction of Sophie Dupuis, who well captures the atmosphere of Montreal’s drag scene while giving mature voice to a number of characters.

Film will be screened in original version (French) with subtitles in Spanish and Catalan.

A film in the 2024 edition of Mostra FIRE!! Film Festival.
