Harry Macqueen's
Supernova
.
The first plays a pianist who has put his career aside to take care of the second, suffering from a disease that causes him to lose his memory.
Their last vacations, described with infinite tenderness, are the stuff from which we create beautiful love stories.
"That of two people who love each other," explains Stanley Tucci in the press kit.
It could be a heterosexual couple and it wouldn't matter.

The last fires of a star
The director shares their relationship in the form of a “supernova”, a star that shines one last time before disappearing in a spectacular explosion. The sixty-year-old duo take advantage of these final moments to bid farewell to their loved ones as well as to their happiness that they know doomed in the short term. The landscapes of the English countryside that the heroes travel in their motorhomes serve as the backdrop for this ode to celebrate the pleasures of life as long as they are accessible. Wonderfully illuminated by Dick Pope, they disorient the viewer as much as the protagonists.
Harry Macqueen shares the point of view of each of the companions without falling into melodrama.
Supernova
is inhabited by an incredible breath of life that makes you want to hug the people you love in your arms to savor every moment spent in their company.
