Julian

Full of beauty, warmth, and emotional poignancy, Julian marks the feature debut of Belgian filmmaker Cato Kusters, inspired by a true love story. Fleur and Julian meet by chance at a concert, a fleeting glance quickly growing into an intense, joyful romance. Over dinner with friends, an ambitious idea emerges: to raise awareness about marriage inequality by marrying in every country where same-sex marriage is legal. Project 22, named for the twenty-two nations recognizing equality in 2017, begins triumphantly before taking an unforeseen turn. Adapted from Fleur Pierets’ memoir, the film explores devotion, activism, grief, and the power of love.
