Ciné lovers, join us for the screening of Arrête avec tes mensonges (Lie with me) co-presented with the Wicked Queer Film Festival.

Upon agreeing to be the brand ambassador for a famous cognac brand celebrating their bicentennial, novelist Stéphane Belcourt returns to his hometown for the first time in many years. Once there, he meets his first love's son, Lucas. Memories come rushing back to him: irrepressible attraction, bodies becoming one in the heat of desire, a passion that can never be revealed... His name was Thomas. They were 17.

Movie in French with English subtitles, the Q&A that will follow the screening will be in English.

Viewer discretion is advised. Contains graphic scenes, sex, and nudity.
