Louis-Arthur – Merci pour la tendresse

“Everything was going well in my life as an integrated gay man. Until the day a 23-year-old queer activist looked at me the way one looks at a vintage piece of furniture: with tenderness… and a slight doubt about its usefulness.”

Between stand-up, intimate story and contemporary tale, Merci pour la tendresse follows a character caught between two LGBTQIA+ generations: that of the AIDS years and survival activism, and a queer youth for whom getting involved also means laughing, loving, living, challenging and inventing other models.

In the middle, him. His contradictions. His desire to do well. His need to pass on his knowledge.

A funny, tender and sometimes fierce look at what connects us.

"A masterful narrative combined with powerful punchlines whose originality will sweep you away." — Le Spot du Rire
