A striking homage to the playwright behind It's Only the End of the World, brought to the screen by Xavier Dolan in 2016.

Thirty years after the death of Jean-Luc Lagarce, an American documentarian interviews those close to the late playwright. Each brings the Lagarce they knew back to life again – actor, director, but also friend, brother, son. From the town where he was born to the backrooms of Paris, he took an incalculable number of trains and had a host of lovers. Until the day AIDS came knocking on his door, ringing down the curtain on a life of writing and a tireless love of words. In this vibrant portrait, Charles Salles remarkably intertwines fiction and reality, persona and flesh-and-blood.
