Wild Side
Synopsis
One night Stéphanie meets Mikhail, a down-on-his-luck Russian immigrant living illegally in France. Soon, Mikhail falls in love with Stéphanie, and she ultimately makes a surprising decision to include both partners in her life.
Summoned to her childhood home in the north of France by her dying mother Liliane, Stéphanie (whose birth name was Pierre) tries to provide comfort to a woman who never really accepted her son's unconventional sexuality. She is joined by Mikhail and Jamel, who together with Stéphanie form a nurturing web of comfort and support.
Liliane finally dies in her sleep. En route to Paris, the three lovers are shown entwined in the same train compartment, an alternative family of sorts. But they are headed for an uncertain future, living on the margins of a society that is still not comfortable with outcasts, others and those living in-between.
