Since Thom and Henri met 35 years ago, their love has never wavered. They live a seemingly perfect life in Brussels. When Henri retires from his job as a police officer, the extra hours together start to shake the foundations of their relationship. Henri’s days seem to stretch endlessly and Thom is starting to lose his patience. They slowly drift apart from each other until the house becomes a battlefield. Thom’s love for Henri remains strong and he refuses to give up on them. He will do anything to save their relationship and reignite their love, even if it means asking Henri for a divorce.

This is a third film by David Lambert at the TLVFest and now he brings to the big screen a story of an elderly couple who’s been living together for decades, long before it was socially accepted to be LGBT, long before there were gay marriages or queer couples could legally adopt. Now the couple faces a new dynamic in their lives when they are suddenly both senior citizens, who need to adjust to a different rhythm of life and basically rediscover each other.
