synopsis

Fleur and Julian fall madly in love and decide to get married in all countries where they, as two women, are allowed to do so. After only four marriages, their journey comes to a painful and unexpected halt.

 

By way of her first feature film, "Julian", young Flemish director Cato Kusters delivers a sensitive and fast-paced portrait of love. Two wholly committed actresses were required to carry this larger-than-life love story, and this is defintely the case for Nina Meurisse (who won a Cesar for Souleymane’s Story) and Laurence Roothooft.

Julian

Cato Kusters proves to be a born storyteller, whispering to us an intimate tale that feels both personal and universal.
