TIME TO LEAVE (2006)

FRANCOIS OZON

Plot

Romain is a good-looking, rather selfish, 31-year-old, gay photographer, whose life thrown is into chaos by the shock diagnosis of a terminal illness. Facing up to the reality of his own mortality and unable to share the news with his boyfriend or family, he confides only in his grandmother. Romain's anger and denial give way to an acceptance of sorts and a chance encounter with a waitress offers a glimmer of hope and the unexpected chance to leave something of himself behind. 'Time to Leave' is an intimate and lyrical work from acclaimed director Francois Ozon.
