THE NATURE OF LOVE

THE NATURE OF LOVE

SIMPLE COMME SYLVAIN / 2023 / Canada, France / 111 min

Sophia, a forty-year-old philosophy professor, has been in a trusting relationship with Xavier for ten years, sharing a similar view of the world. Their days are filled with exhibition openings, reading nights and never-ending dinners with friends. When the attractive handyman Sylvain is hired to renovate their new holiday home, Sophia’s life is turned upside down and she finds herself in a passionate relationship with a sexually irresistible man. How will the manual laborer be received by a seemingly accepting, but in reality superior, metropolitan society? And will Sophia find common ground with Sylvain’s friends? Can their fresh relationship survive the challenges it brings? This romantic film, laced with subtle humor and eroticism, first captured audiences at the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes International Film Festival.
