Different aspects of homosexual romance are explored in this compendium of ten short vignettes encompassing a broad look at AIDS and range for the tale of a lesbian teen trying to come out to her parents, to a gay man who shocks his lover by claiming to be pregnant, to another man's reminiscence of a brief affair with an HIV-positive man.
Direction

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Marion Cotillard's third film role, years before La Vie en Rose made her global.
Released when French cinema largely ignored AIDS, this anthology was radical — only the second French AIDS-themed film after 1993's The Night and the Moment.
