Julian
Fragile feature debut about two women who want to get married in every country where it’s allowed. What should have been a unique honeymoon takes a dramatic turn.
Fleur and Julian set out to celebrate their love by marrying in every country that recognises same-sex marriage. Their journey starts with excitement and romance, but after several ceremonies reality begins to intrude. Physical and emotional fatigue, bureaucratic hurdles and personal doubts begin to crack their ideal of freedom and love.
With sensitivity and nuance, Cato Kusters brings the autobiographical book Julian by Fleur Pierets to life. The result is a tender and deeply personal debut about borders, identity and the search for connection. Balancing between documentary and fiction, the film’s intimate camerawork captures love as something both universal and profoundly fragile.
