Few Days of Respite, A

A strongly resonant, slow-paced film offers a sensitive look at the fate of two gay men who have fled their native Iran, desperate to find the freedom to love in France. As the two illegals separate enroute to Paris, Moshen encounters a lonely older woman, Yolande. Her instant interest in helping him leads her to offering him a job refurbishing her flat in a provincial small town. Hassan is left behind, keeping track of Moshen from a distance, waiting for him in a hostel or having to hide in Yolande's attic and silently observe as she and his partner grow closer. During these few days, destinies of the three characters change forever. (Febiofest)
