Solo

Simon has a successful career and a family that loves him. And he also has a prime spot in a club where he performs as a drag queen. When newcomer Olivier joins the queer family one day, Simon is instantly drawn to him. What starts as a flirtation quickly turns into a passionate romance, which brings to life an artistic partnership. Everything seems to be basking in the warm glow of the spotlights, but their relationship is far from a fairy tale. Moreover, Simon’s estranged mother – an opera diva who left him 15 years ago – returns to Montreal. And Simon is eager to impress her… In her latest drama, Sophie Dupuis brings together the crème de la crème of contemporary queer cinema: Théodore Pellerin (Genesis, Boy Erased) and Félix Maritaud (Sauvage, 120 BPM). But the film is above all a compellingly complex look at the yearning for love and attention – whether it comes from a partner, family, or an audience.
