The story of a painter, Pierre Dumont, who in the course of his art school adventures meets Arthur, a poet and transgendered composer who fled New York on a barge. Arthur lives the free and exciting life of the artist and is beyond the reproach of anyone. Pierre envies and admires the lifestyle he reveals to him, and the two quickly become lovers. His mother, the sinister Madame Dumont, despises their union, and criticizes Pierre for his "degenerate" lifestyle. Pierre's dilemma is underscored by her affections for Diane, a gentle painting student and his closest friend. While Diane would willingly spend her life with him, Pierre longs for the excitement and freedom Arthur represents. He slowly unravels, confounded by the dichotomy of love and passion, and struggles to reconcile his affection for Diane with his intense need for Arthur's' devotion.
It's looking good! We are hoping to start filming in January.
