Gerontophilia

In this wry “reverse Lolita” tale, eighteen-year-old Lake (Pier-Gabriel Lajoie) discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate lands him a job at an assisted-living facility where he develops an intimate relationship with Mr. Peabody (Walter Borden). Upon discovering that the clients are being over-medicated to make them more manageable, Lake weans Mr. Peabody off his medication and helps him escape, resulting in a road trip that deepens their bond. The always-provocative Bruce LaBruce offers a delicately subversive romantic comedy that is both darkly humorous and emotionally heartfelt.

Starring Walter Borden, Pier-Gabriel Lajoie, Marie-Hélène Thibault
